Wow, you really hit the trifecta on that one! I had a double-header: as a child, I don't know how old, I had my arm in a cast from surgery and got the measles (or chicken pox)! My parents or grandma gave me a coat hanger and let me go to town.
We think there's something depressing my immune system, making me more susceptible. Saw an immunologist today, he thinks my immune system is fine and that it might be severe allergies that I just don't recognize. We're not too sure about that, but he ordered a whole bunch of immunological tests, and that's what we really wanted out of him. If it confirms that my immune system is actually OK, then all the better, and we'll do allergy treatments.
We are definitely demanding answers, and we fired my lung doctor for that reason. We think this immunologist is an excellent step in the right direction, but it's still going to be slow: we don't see him again until July.
