Get a CD57 blood test. Will tell with better certainty where your immune function truly is.

should talk to your doc about your meds not helping


its much healthier to take a little more meds and have a decent night of sleep than not taking meds and almost not sleeping

Holy shit, thanks Dr. Phil.

Diagnosing leukopenia over the interwebz takes talent.



Who tf are you?
I didn’t even give a definitive answer, because I’m not a fking doctor.
It sounds like a low white blood cell count.
My wife has the same problems and is lacking in white blood cells.
Mongoloid.

Kidding. This is not a question for any forums, if it is prolonging state and happening often, go and see your doctor. Only he can tell you what it is.


This guy gets it, go see a doc. No advice you get on this forum subsitutes your real life doctor's advice.

CD57 test is a completely useless test for this. It's just a way of drawing money from people, one could call it elegant quackery because it sounds legit but isn't. It isn't specific for any disease or state and is essentially as useful as not having a test at all.

Read my other response to CD57 in this post :)

In a country with public health care (Sweden in your case) there's a high chance of private docs prescribing useless tests and medications/supplements to both get extra money for unnecessary procedures and make the patient happy and feel like he's being listened to. Not all private doctors are like this, ofc, but there is such a tendency in private clinics. Go see a public doctor so you can get a "2nd opinion", they usually don't have any interests other than giving evidence-based treatment. The health care in Sweden is high level even if public.

There are numerous reasons for constantly getting a cold. They can be structural or immune system related. Sleep deprivation could also play a role.

First and foremost: what do you mean by a cold? A proper cold with fever, muscle aches, a sore throat etc... or do you mean a runny/stuffed nose? Do you have allergies? Medications going on right now? Any other diseases or diagnoses? Have you seen a doc about this and have you had any lab tests?

I see, you seem to know your thing, guess I will skip the CD57 then! I do have big sleeping issues, it takes some kind of voodoo dance and sacrifices to the gods to make me fall asleep nicely... And usually after a good night's sleep I feel great waking up. But the cold can come anyways, even after a good night's sleep :/

The could would be a stuffy nose + sneezings + a feeling of being cold (even if I'm indoors). But absolutely no fever / muscle aches / sore throat! I should have mentioned that earlier, but I didn't think of it.



Thanks a lot for the responses guys, truly appreciated :)
