I reckon my PTSD really hates my immune system.
Because of shit happening it has been acting up again the last couple of months and every time it does, I feel like I get sick every bloody time someone does so much as sneeze at me.
Anyone else having that problem?
I had a pneumonia two months ago and now I'm getting sick again! Argh! Also, I get like twice as many of my migraines as usual. Which is no fun at all when you're completely resistany to any painkiller in existance!
For the pneumonia my doc gave me some stuff that's usually perscribed to patients after extensive surgery. Had me take nearly twice the recommended dose but it was no use, I didn't even get side effects.
I hate being sick!
Sry for ranting.

Healing hopes for you.
...I was taking topiramate to prevent migraines and as a mood stabilizer. Mainly the latter.
topamax renders me more vulnerable to heat, though, so I am trying out a different mood stabilizer.
BUT...topiramate might prevent your migraines, idpf you have not tried it.
Just be warned, people call it Dopeymax for a reason... :p
Not to mention always being on high alert.
I think because of that we're more susceptible to getting sick. We use up so much energy all the time we don't have much to fight off disease.
I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well, though.
I find anything that helps me to relax really helps me fight off disease in huge ways. A little can go a long way. Feeling safe enough to soak in the tub or take a nap or get a massage or acupuncture can really help.
