I don't have autoimmune conditions but I do have Immune Disorder conditions.

What this means that my Immune System doesn't use autoantibodies to attack and damage my organs/systems. It uses other biochemicals (possibly cytokines).

The net result is exactly like autoimmune disorders: My moisture glands are severely damaged (like Sjogren's) my lungs, my bladder, my hearing, my peripheral nerves and my small fiber nerves are all damaged, some profoundly.

I actuallly have Immune Deficiency Disorder, as well, which means that my immune system does not produce enough of the antibodies that protect me, but DOES ATTACK my organs and systems.

This is beyond science fiction, isn't it?

I have infusions of the main antibody that I am deficient in (IgG) through monthly IVIG.

It is truly a weird world for me.
