Could you elaborate a bit on the subject you mentioned, that an auto immune disease is the result of a weakened immune state?
I have never heard of research or evidence in this direction.
There are pointers to, genetic effects, to stress, to bacteria, but I never have seen the link to a weak immune system.
If I think of that and see myself, it is also not fitting. With a weakened immune system I would expect to have more infections, other problems and be more vulnerable for viruses, for instance. And I am not. I hardly ever have a cold, while people around me are sneezing and breezing, it has been years since I had influenza and I am hardly ever sick nor do I have other problems besides the PsA.
Now it is of course possible that I am myself a bit weird example, I am Dutch you know, but still...
