My wife is.
The primary problem is that it makes EVERYTHING more complicated, and more serious, because your resistance and ability to recover is compromised.
For example. If I catch a cold, I'm miserable for maybe a day or so, and then it is history.
When she catches the same cold, you're looking at a week or more, and the last one turned into a sinus infection and required a trip to the walk in clinic.
If I get a cut, I wrap it in a paper towel until I can get to a bandage, and go about my business.
If she gets a cut, we have to watch it until it heals in case it gets infected.
And so on.
