Barbara, I'd sure appreciate hearing more about what's going on with your body and how this all ties in with your lupus. I know there have been a few women on this board with lupus (I am personally convinced that PCOS is at least in part auto-immune, which is why we all have such trouble with lupus, Chrohns, some with MS, thyroid problems, etc.)

I ask because I have had little to no immune system the past 3 years. I have had glandular fever more than once as well as mono. (All the Epstein Barr stuff.) I am sick just about constantly, I don't think I've gone a full week in 3 years without having an infection of one kind or another, even if it's just a little cold. Does this sound like what you went through? What sort of problems did it eventually cause for you? How would you have treated it differently if you could?

Thanks!
