Apparently I've Since Found Out That Fybromyalgia Causes A Low Immune System. Has Anyone Else Found This?

I've had 8 chest infections & 2 kidney infections in 12 months!

No. I haven't been sick in years, even through COVID. I do wash my hands and mask when around sick people or just a lot of people.

That would make a lot of sense, I’ve lost track of the amount of colds/chest infections I’ve had. Doesn’t help having a two year old at nursery, but my wife rarely gets anything.

I have a autoimmune issue as well.. not just w the viruses but also spring time and fall are the worst when I get sick. It's no fun.

Oh that’s a lot! At age 65 they found I have an Immune Deficiency on the IGg3. Also have a lung disease. Doctor thinks both are related, and autoimmune disease caused. I’ve caught every virus going around since childhood. So has my daughter and now my grandson.
