People w/Fibromyalgia Have Natural Cytokine Deficiency Making Them Less Susceptible to Covid-19
It turns out fibromyalgia patients’ immune systems are deficient in two particular cytokines, IL-6 and IL-8, and those two cytokines just happen to be the same ones that rage out of control during severe COVID-19 infections. A so-called “cytokine storm” of IL-6, IL-8 and others has been identified as the culprit in severe COVID-19 infections. COVID-19 antibody rates also appear to be lower in fibromyalgia patients than the general U.S. population (3.7% vs. 5%).

“The reason people are likely to have a fatality [from COVID-19] is because their immune system overreacts and overproduces critical cytokine and chemokine proteins, and the lungs literally get flooded by these compounds, and you develop a life-threatening pneumonia as a consequence,” Gillis explains. Fibromyalgia “We are learning, interestingly, that having an inability to overproduce these cytokines, which is what fibromyalgia is all about, seems to make you less susceptible to the worst effects of COVID-19,” Gillis continues.

“If you have this innate deficiency, you’re less susceptible to COVID-19.” The study concluded, “Individuals with FM/a test positive fibromyalgia have a reduced ability to produce IL-6 and IL-8, which play significant roles in the cytokine storm complications associated with COVID-19 infections.

When screened for evidence of past COVID-19 infections, these patients experienced an extremely low incidence of COVID-19 infections based upon antibody testing, there were no mortalities, and the level of morbidity was significantly below what has been reported in general populations.

Thanks for info. Maybe this is why I haven't had the flu in 30+ years :) Haven't taken any flu shots either and will not be playing russian roulette with the covid shots either.

Have you had the fibromyalgia blood test that has been out for ten years now?
