Dear @mguspixi25, thank you so much for this. The fact that you have spent your own time to do this research on my behalf is incredibly kind. I think that there could well be something up with my immune system and I will have a look at the links you've posted. I've never seen an immunologist but it could be a good avenue to go down. I have worked in schools for the past 13 years or so and have been exposed to countless colds, flu, bugs etc plus of course covid which I've had three times fairly mildly. I have found over the last couple of years my immune system seems to be functioning better than it ever has. I've put this down to daily cold exposure (ice baths) which seems to have had a really positive impact. It's not for everyone but it seems to strengthen me from within and reduce inflammation. I'll do some research on the immune system and mgus and see what I come up with. Thank you again and have a great day.

No worries at all @nick86, it was no trouble at all 🙂
I hope things go well with the immunologist, and they dig a little deeper for you.
It’s very interesting regarding daily ice baths, as cryotherapy is used in other immune disorders to control symptoms and address immune function. I’m very glad it’s helping you.
Before I started losing feeling in my lower arms and legs, I was an avid motorcyclist, and would ride rain, hail, snow or shine, and I did notice a marked improvement in immune function during winter when body temp would drop due to very low ambient temp combined with wind chill at speed (ice would form on the bike and on my leathers at motorway speeds, riding at night). I used to have cold water showers to imitate the same response, however I had to stop because the change in body temp was affecting brain function (I have chronic brain inflammation on MRI and significant temperature changes cause me to sometimes faint if they’re too hot or cold).
I hope cryotherapy continues to work well for you into the future 🌺
And best of luck with the research.
I hope you get to enjoy the week ahead!
