Anyone Been Diagnosed With A Weakened Immune System? Before Or After Fibromyalgia

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Stockport, UK

My GP has taken blood for a few different things but always comes back clear. I've had 7 lots of antibiotics in 6 months. Just wondered if anyone has been diagnosed with a weakened immune system, and if you were diagnosed before fibromyalgia or after been diagnosed

Fibro goes hand in hand with autoimmune disorders

I'm not sure what comes first : weakened immune system or Fibro & then weakened immune system. I have to constantly be sure I stay away from anyone that's sick. I catch everything! So, now, I opt to stay home most all of the time. I , too, was on antibiotics for a really long time & now I think it has upset my gut bacteria & continues to everyday. So now I'm trying to deal with that = which at this time is harder than dealing with the Fibro. Hope that doesn't happen in your case ~. It's bad enough having 1 problem ( Fibro) and now a 2nd ( digestive) . Hope you have a pain free weekend !

Thanks I was tested earlier this year for another weakened immune problem and now testing for another. To be honest I would love something to show up then at least I know why. I'm currently sat here with a really sore throat which I've had for 2 weeks and a really high temp which I've had for a week. Not even mentioned this to the doctor yet as other things have taken priority. But the way I feel now I'll be ringing on Monday. Never a pain free day for me, but I can cope most of the time just my bum really playing up which I injured last year trying to kick my nephew up the bum, missed him and went flying landing on laminate flooring. Another problem for the doctors to sort. sending hugs
