I got sick while in the hospital and nursing home. I KNOW that in one case it was because the hordes of people and children visiting a matriarch ( up to 30 holding a prayer meeting) brought germs. In another case, it was sick aides. I told her/them that the clipboard that she sneezed on and laid on my bed was a disease vector. Since my release - March 2006-- I haven't had a cold or UTI or flu or anything ( knock on wood).
I was asked if I had a flu shot when i was diagnosed with my second (or continuing) bout of TM. I hadn't that year as it was in short supply but I had not had the flu for years. I'm inclined to think that my TM is a result of my immune system going overboard.... and internal misdiagnosis.... not about weak.... but strong the b12 theory is interesting, I was told to take more and to up my folic acid.....
