Pneumonia Anyone?

Does anyone get Pneumonia constantly? I recently was referred to a immunologist due to recent bloodwork coming back bad for my immune system as I’ve had 2 different types of Pneumonia in the last month in a half that I was hospitalized for on separate occasions. The hospital staff knows me by now! Ugh! They don’t know if was my MS medicine that has been cause it as I was on Ocrevus so they took me off of that, which I’m not happy about as I loved that medication and they put me on Vumerity. Does anyone else get Pneumonia a lot due to our immune system?

I’m on my third bout of pneumonia in nine months. Yes dmds do knock out the immune system so, respiratory infections may be a side-effect. I’m no longer on any dmt but, I may still have some in my system or it’s just something to get used to on this MS journey.
