        I’m glad you’re doing well Ed.  I agree with you that it’s much better to be around with side effects than those who are no longer with us.

        Best wishes to you

          Hi Ed, thanks for responding.  What I mean about not having an immune system is that I am sick more often than I am well.  I catch every cold or bug going around, but for me they are much worse than other people that get the same cold.  For example, I am sick right now.  My daughter caught this cold about 2 days before me, and it lasted a little less than 7 days.  I have had it now for 2 weeks, but the same cold symptoms are much worse for me.  I also get hit hard with colds that the rest of my family are exposed to, but do not get themselves.

          I have completely changed my diet because of the Celiac Disease I developed after treatment.  I also take several Immune system boosting supplements that a Naturopath has recommended for me, but even as my blood test results show improvement, I’m still sick, more than I am well.

          For the last few years, my doctors told me that the fatigue and getting sick all the time wasn’t from the immunotherapy, but that I was most likely just depressed and it’s all just in my head.
