Symptom 2: Recurring Infections
While catching a cold or flu occasionally is common, repeated infections can be a red flag. Our body’s immune system is a robust defense mechanism, primarily powered by white blood cells. But what happens when this army is compromised? With ALL, the production of these defender cells gets disrupted, rendering the body more susceptible to infections.
Common infections might include sinusitis, bronchitis, or even skin infections. The recurring nature of these illnesses becomes the real concern. Every time you feel you’re out of the woods, another infection might pop up, making it feel like a never-ending cycle.
But it’s not just about the frequency. The duration and severity of these infections also change. A simple cold might linger longer than usual. The symptoms could be more pronounced, with higher fever peaks, more severe body aches, and prolonged recovery periods. (2)
