Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Don't quite: understand what you meant by your statement about your immune system and cognitive improvement! however, if you need an expert to decipher your condition, kindly go to a University / Teaching Hospital to see a rheumatologist first, with possible input from an Immunologist, good luck
