The Immune System ft. the Coronavirus There’s been a lot of talk about the Coronavirus  (aka. Covid19)  and germs and how to stay healthy in the middle of it all. 
 As someone who has a compromised immune system, I thought I could add a different perspective to this whole situation. Before we start I’d like it to be known that this post is in no way meant to add to the hysteria, the purpose is merely to inform and spread awareness in these uncertain times.

At the age of 16 I was diagnosed with Behcet’s disease, Chron’s disease, and Rheumatoid Arthritis and since then my list has grown to include; Gastroparesis (stomach 80% paralyzed), Raynaud’s Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Scleritis (causing partial blindness), Sinus Tachycardia, and Major Depressive Disorder.
