If you’ve seen a reproductive immunologist and been told your NK cells are elevated, your cytokines are dysregulated, or your immune markers are “off” and the solution offered was a steroid or immune suppressant, guess what?
That’s treating the smoke, not the fire 🔥
Your immune system isn’t misbehaving for no reason. It’s responding to something and one of the most overlooked drivers of immune dysregulation in the context of recurrent pregnancy loss is chronic infection 👉🏼Lyme, coinfections, viral reactivation, stealth pathogens
We know that early pregnancy requires a very precise immune choreography. NK cells, T-regulatory cells, and cytokines all have to work together in a tightly orchestrated sequence to allow implantation and sustain the pregnancy through the first trimester. Borrelia and its coinfections directly dysregulate those exact pathways
So when someone hands you a prescription to suppress your immune system without asking why it’s activated in the first place that’s a massive gap in care
Real care stop asking “how do we quiet your immune system?”
And starts asking better questions like “what is your immune system fighting?”
If you’ve had recurrent losses and nobody has looked upstream at chronic infection burden, that’s not a dead end, it’s an unanswered question and one you deserve the answer to
