Best of health to you!
Vigilance…..
The nephrologist has me get labs every six months. The autoimmune curse is that our own immune system makes the rogue antibodies that are doing all of the damage. And it’s anybody’s guess what triggers them to go into overdrive. NSAIDs like ibuprofen are suspects. Viruses. Vaccines designed to combat viruses. Anything that prods the immune system could be exciting the crazy part to go on the warpath. It could be any number of common things that are safe for the vast majority of the population.
In my case researchers accidentally discovered the B cell that makes the rogue antibody while treating a leukemia patient. And they can use the leukemia med to kill off those B cells, although they will grow back. It’s way better than broad spectrum immune suppressors.
