    Righto.

    It's just that I was diagnosed with a disease 2 yrs ago - Sarcoidosis, that has caused granulomas in my lungs.
    The specialist said my white blood cell count was very high when they took the lung tissue samples.

    So my immune system was going into overdrive and attacking the air sacs in my lungs.

    It is being treated with immuno suppressant drug and steroid drugs but all the while leading up to my diagnosis, although I never got crook from flu or colds, I was getting short of breath gradually getting worse and worse.

    So my theory is the disease was protecting me from other illnesses because my immune system was in fighting mode, but it was slowly making me more and more crook itself.
