Your immune system is one of the\nmost crucial systems in your body. It essentially directs certain cells around\nyour body to fend off any foreign bodies that might have entered it, such as\nviruses and bacteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It fights these illnesses in many\nways, from using white blood cells to raising your body temperature, like when\nyou have a fever, in order to kill off a virus. This is all great when you have\na strong immune system, but if you have a weak one, it can lead to many problems\nfor you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a weak immune system is\ncertainly something to worry about, so you need to know the signs to look out\nfor to see if you might have a weaker than average immune system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are different symptoms to\nlook out for and different diseases that you might already have that will\nsubstantially lower your immune system. The diseases that lower your immune\nsystem are well known and you\u2019ll know that if you have these, you\u2019ll have a\nreduced immunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, HIV and AIDS are both auto-immune diseases, meaning that they damage and lower your immune system without some kind of treatment. Certain cancers will also lower your immunity, and you can be born with immunity deficiency disorders, which is something that you may have had to deal with your whole life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other autoimmune diseases include multiple sclerosis, Type 1 diabetes, Crohn’s disease, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo and sjogren’s syndrome to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One symptom that you have a weak\nimmune system is that you\u2019ll repeatedly and frequently get the same infections\nmultiple times. For many people, infections are rare and typically only happen\na few times throughout their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you frequently\ncontract things like pneumonia or strep throat, then you\u2019re probably at a\nhigher risk of a weakened immune system. Another very common symptom is\nfrequent digestive problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things like frequent stomach\naches, lack of appetite, or even diarrhea could mean that your immune system is\nweak. This is because a significant portion of your immune system is based\naround your digestive system, so if your digestive system is giving you a lot\nof problems, it could be that your immune system isn\u2019t doing its job right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some people, low energy is a sign of a poor immune system. This is because your body is expending a lot of energy in keeping your immune system up to par, much more than other people typically would have to. If you\u2019re getting enough sleep and still feeling tired all day, this might be the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things to consider. If you don’t know if you have a certain autoimmune condition, but are experiencing some of these symptoms, go see your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
