This is a really cool page I found with graphs showing immune response as related to the different stages of endo. ivf.com/endoimm.htmlP.S. The vocabulary on there with which some might be unfamiliar... 1) leukocytes (white blood cells) 2) macrophages (white blood cells that engulf pathogens) 3) WBC's (white blood cells)

I took a look at that site, it was pretty interesting.
I wasn't quite sure if it was saying the body's immune response declines altogether, or just in relation to the endo. I don't know if the body can isolate endo from other illnesses, so I guess I'll assume the response is in relation to all disease as the endo condition progresses.
If that is true, then it would make sense for those who are in later stages of endo to also be more susceptible to other illnesses, which, alas, is more for us to worry about!!
I guess I'd better beef up my vitamin C, echinacea, goldenseal intake.
