Re: Questions about Immune Dysregulation

[Guest guest]

Robyn,

I would guess that some parts of it are overactive (he¹s churning out

antibodies that fight everything and therefore he rarely gets sick but, the

antibodies may also be attacking other things they shouldn¹t be and can¹t

seem to shut off), but Dr. G has said that you can have some overactive and

underactive things going on in the same immune system, so it¹s not

necessarily just one or the other.

This may be a stupid question, but I'm in the midst of a brain fog that

I can't find my way out of. If you have a child who never or rately

gets sick and has never had a fever, would his immune system be

considered overreactive or underreactive? I thought it was overreactive.

TIA,

Robyn
