This is interesting. I also lost my son several years ago. I was and am still very sad. It is when I started getting sick with MAC.

So sad for your loss. The pain is indescribable. The loss changed everything. I think stress causes immune system to go down and that is what happened to me.

@xfirerose I agree, stress can bring on disease. I got my mac infection shortly after losing my dear father to lung cancer. My sister also came down with vitigilio at that time. Our immunity definitely dropped from the stress we were dealing with.
