An immunodeficiency basically means that something’s gone wrong with your immune system and it has started acting weird (abnormally). The immune system’s weirdness may range from “unable to fight off attacks, like viruses” to “attacking the body by mistake” (false alarms).
The latter is what I suffer from and it sucks big time!
My immune system doesn’t seem to have problems fighting off the usual culprits for I honestly can’t remember the last time I had the flu or common cold, so I’m pretty confident it does its job in this department.
My problem is exactly the opposite in that the immune system is overzealous… meaning it overdoes it and sometimes gets things wrong and the result can be horrible.
Sometimes, out of the blue it decides to attack a certain area on an arm or a leg or multiple, because it is convinced that there’s a problem in that area when there’s absolutely nothing wrong!
I often find myself telling my brain… “Hey Bozo, get the fuck away from that area because we don’t have a problem there!” …if only it would listen!
Once such a screwed up immune system sets it’s “mind” on an area of the body it’s very hard to get it to calm down and let go, so herein lies my dilemma…
Does building up the immune system repair it so that it stops getting things wrong or are you only making it stronger and more aggressive in attacking you? So far I’m finding the latter to be true!
And is it not a conflict when… on the one hand you take immuno-suppressants to calm it down so that it stops attacking you, while on the other you seek healthy products and supplements to make it “better”?
It’s somewhat comparable to placing a juvenile delinquent in a gym to preoccupy their mind with sport but the kid just gets stronger and overconfident and just better at beating other kids up… I think we call that counter-productive!
I actually fear my immune system more than I fear Covid-19 because if I ever catch this virus all hell is gonna break loose for I fear that my insane immune system will not only beat the living daylights out of Covid but it’ll also beat all my vital organs to a pulp!
It’s like having a big bad bully roaming in your body always on the lookout for a fight and if there isn’t one… no worries it’ll create one!
And thus concludes my immunodeficiency dilemma… how the hell do you treat such weird shit?
Doctors throw their hands in the air with this… but then again throwing their hands in the air is all they ever bloody do!
By now you will have guessed that I don’t really have much respect for “modern medicine” because despite all the technological advancements gifted to the medical world by engineers (electrical, electronic, mechanical and others) they’re still fucking useless IMHO!
If you walk into any modern hospital you’ll see COUNTLESS pieces of electro-mechanical devices gifted to the medical world to help them make some sense out of people’s medical problems yet… they still can’t figure anything out!
How many more toys and aids do these useless oafs need before they can start actually curing people?
As time goes by I sense my unhealthy growing resentment towards the medical world and that’s not good for my health… now I gotta calm down before the big bad bully notices and starts taking out a kidney!
