Thanks for the replies and advice. Great to hear that you’re doing so well, mamabear. Yeah, we’ve been doing the frequent handwashing routine for years now – that’s not gonna be a problem. We use Purell all the time too. I’m a little curious about why it’s so important to avoid infections though. I know there’s a small risk of a side-effect to my medication that basically causes white blood-cell production to collapse. We went through the same thing with my son when he was on chemo. I’ve been told to contact my doctor immediately if I get a fever, strep throat etc. But is my immune system going to be compromised in general and for as long as I’m taking the tiamazol even without this side-effect?
I am feeling a lot better today btw. It has nothing to do with medication, but rather that I finally have a diagnosis and know what’s wrong with me. It’s been pretty frustrating seeing doctors telling me there’s nothing wrong with me again and again over the past year.
