Does having endo weaken your immune system?
My OBGYN told me that having endo can lead to a zinc deficiency which can make it harder for your immune system to do what it needs to do. I ended up being deficient and am now on zinc supplements which are helping heaps with my overall health :)
I have read that woman with endo tend to have a deficiency of vitamin D. I was diagnosed with D deficiency years before my endo diagnosis. Its simple to have a blood test to to check your levels
Alicia, chronic fatigue is not connected with a compromised immune system.
I have heard it is autoimmune but please don't quote me on that. Other hormonal related autoimmune disorders such as hypothyroidism I would dare say some times can tag along with endo as hormone levels get wacky.
But it causes chronic fatigue right? Can that lower immune systems?
