And now back to the emergency room. They ask me if I'm in pain. Yes, I have a bad stomach ache,” complained Evaristo Costa.
He also described the problems he suffers from the disease. “In addition to lots of diarrhea (which may contain blood), fever and weight loss. All of this leads to weakness and fatigue. Low immunity makes my body vulnerable to the invasion of viruses and bacteria, like what happened to my leg a month ago. “If I don't take care of myself, it could lead to complications such as anemia and weight loss,” he said.
This situation, adds Evaristo, makes him immunologically weakened. “Low immunity makes my body vulnerable to invasion by viruses and bacteria, as happened to my leg a month ago. If I don't take care of myself, complications such as anemia and serious infections can occur,” he wrote.
