I forgot to ask you the name of the doctor you mentioned who says
more pople should know that immune responses are higher amongst
psych patients.  In many venues that's interpreted as a symptom of
psychiatric illness.  Articles indicating sensitivities (including
autoimmune problems) can affect the central nervous system date
back to the turn of the century.  Doctors have heard about
this...but they continue to slaughter poeple with sensitivities by
denying their experience on the basis of an absence of
information.

Why?  Who knows, but it's a real horror...especially for those
psych patients with undiagnosed sensitivities as the cause of their
problem, and who are surrounded by the twin enemies of ignorance
and arrogance.

But, to be honest...it's not any owrse than what a lot of people
face with other disabilities.
