I just reread your letter and there's a couple of things you should think about. First, consider talking to your GP about whether your immune system is part of the problem.
Second, your mention of abcesses brings up the possibility of a hidden infection pumping toxins into your system. Even plain old gum disease is bad for Parkies in that the toxins are the LPS variety that we seem to be sensitive to. But, more importantly, a hidden abcess can wreak havoc on your immune system and under the right conditions can even kill. (My wife was in dentistry so you pick up little bits like that.) Might want to see your dentist?
