I have a theory ! Desperately want feedback.

I have been diagnosed for almost two years. I , as many of you know, have a very bad track record for drug reactions. I have been battling multiple infections for months.

Theory: RD is basically our immune system has been set to overdrive, possibly flowing a viral infection. Is seems once the immune system is finished with that it can no longer stop and begins to attack healthy cells creating damage.

I am reluctant to try any more antibiotics. I think that my immune system is busy dealing with all these infections then it is to busy to attack the healthy cells. Is that ludicrous or does it have logic?

We are in a heat wave, at long last. The sun ☀️ just makes me feel better. Does not take away pain but provides a welcomed distraction. Have an amazing day everyone.

I've been reading Michael Moseley's book called the Gut Diet Book which talks all about the effects of antibiotics on our gut. Very interesting read, I do recommend it.

Maybe you would get more of a response to this question if you post this on the NRAS HealthUnlocked forum. Seems to be much busier there.

Not what you're looking for?
