@publickovacs My step daughter has auto immune issues also : CVID. Do you have transfusions too? Sometimes they wiped her out. Other times she felt a million bucks after.
I do intermittent fasting also helped me lose 30lbs in 3 months and avoid having to take diabetes meds 😁
As soon as the doctor tried to prescribe me a weight loss med, I thought " screw that! " and relied on my will power and it worked. Doctor asked nurses were gob smacked on what I achieved myself.
@publickovacs that sucks and stay positive. My step daughter had stage 3/4. Luckily it didn't reach her brain. She did have chemo but was not hindered with her auto immune issues.
