Yes, same for my mother to.(severe alergies, severe autoimunity isues..artritis ,
hashimoto...)
Hashimoto's:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto%27s_thyroiditis#Pathophysiology''
Activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CD8+ T-cells) in response to cell-mediated immune response affected by helper T-lymphocytes (CD4+ T-cells) is central to thyrocyte destruction. As is characteristic of type IV hypersensitivities, recruitment of macrophages is another effect of the helper T-lymphocyte activation, with Th1 axis lymphocytes producing inflammatory cytokines within thyroid tissue to further macrophage activation and migration into the thyroid gland for direct effect.
Histologically, the hypersensitivity is seen as diffuse parenchymal infiltration by lymphocytes, particularly plasma B-cells...''Perhaps this could explain cold attacks in POIS. Also the thyroid discussions on this forum could be related to these mechanisms instead of hormone imbalances (maybe it could lead to imbalances but this isn't the cause).
Your mother got Hashimoto's which is probably Th1 mediated. I got elevated Th1 cytokine levels. You have a lot in common with my symptoms which led mo to think you might be Th1 polarized as well. There are a few people here one this forum who have strong overlaps, it's like there are pois subgroups.
They are also mentioning plasma B cells which are the main producers of IgG4. I got the combination of Th1 polarization and elevated IgG4. I wonder if there is any plasma cell infiltration in the body. I got some redness in the vicinity of the stomach but they don't check histologically what it actually is. It could be infiltration of a particular cell type which responds to food. I wonder if something similar happens in the genitourinary system leading to POIS.
We have a guy on the forum with Sjogren's where they found lymphocyte infitration around glands. I wonder if
POIS is a
chemotactic response, meaning it will signal lymphocytes to infiltrate tissue.
