My Butt Hurts
Squeals-a-lot!
Maybe this is too simple, but I was thinking (haha - I know that is dangerous. I try not to do it very often...)
If our immune systems are overactive, and we take an immune suppressing drug, is it possible that instead of suppressing it so low that we catch every illness we come across, it actuallly just lowers it to a normal level??
I've been on Humira or Remicade or Imuran or Prednisone for 2 years now, and haven't noticed one single bit of lacking immune system. I think I have only had one cold this winter, and I used to get 4 or 5 each season. All 3 of my family members had the fever/diarrhea/vomiting bug this year once or twice, and I never caught it though I was the main caretaker of the vomiting ones.
I guess I should just be thankful, but it makes me wonder.
Here is my Crohn's math that seems to make sense to me -
High immune system + immunosuppressant = normal immune system.
Most people seem to think it means high immune system + immunosuppresant = low immune system.
What do you think?
