It's my birthday and I'm sick and it's alright.

I had #longcovid in 2022 and developed an #immunodeficiency (igg2 SAD) from it. I basically spent a good part of that year in bed. It was a pause on my whole life, and I'm still rebuilding it.

I learned some skills for this moment that I forget when I'm well. Mostly: you can't do anything when you're not caring for yourself. And in periods of overwhelm, next right action is the only thing that matters - to yourself and the collective

spoke too soon. Feeling worse and better in waves. Uncontrollable shivering earlier, now laying in bed with oxygen, feeling at least... decent. #immunodeficiency sucks. #SitTogether

According to an excellent explanation from #TACT the wave of mystery pneumonias follows in time and space any wave of #pirola aka the #BA286 family.
In particular the most infectious variant to date, #JN1 "with extreme immune evasion and suppression". In other words, this is the variant most likely to induce #immunodeficiency.
Anything that can cause "secondary" pneumonia is on the list, particularly in children and the elderly whose immune systems are already weakened.
⚠️ At the end of the article, there is a warning that adults will be the next to be affected, in the coming weeks.

There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to when I feel well. So far, today is a good day. Yesterday was a very high pain day.

Results are still pending for the major autoimmune blood test and my theory is that it was positive so they had to run more tests.

I do have something called hypogammaglobulinemia which explains why I get sick so easily. Sigh. At least I never stopped masking.
