Having a compromised immune system sucks (rant, feel free to add your own) [View all]

I've been blasted with high dose steroids and now almost a year of weekly methotrexate pills and my immune system is now nonexistent, in the hopes that my body will stop attacking itself. So now it can't attack anything. There are several things that immunocompromised people need to do. Not on the list is adopt a stray dog to add to your household of one inside dog, one inside cat, and three outside cats, none of which get regular checkups. So I've had a fun case of itch and athletes foot, the root fungus is linked to a certain ringworm.....that is often carried by dogs and cats and can be transmitted through cat litter.

So now that I am continually uncomfortable, I'm now a jerk for bringing up that the fucking petting zoo our house has become might be contributing to my problems. The hilarious thing is my wife has asked that I start taking natural immune system supplements. The purpose of me taking the pills is so that I can achieve the level of a nonexistent immune system that I have now.
