Elevator topic: what is LIT?

We live in a condominum. For 20 months, my elevator talk topic was always about pregnancy and vacation. My neighbors suggestions: We should relax and take a long vacation. We should go to temple in Putuoshan. We should go to Obando and do the fertility dance. We should go to a temple in Tokyo.

Nowadays, my elevator challenge is to explain "What is LIT? and Why do i need LIT?" in 30 seconds. These injections are part of my fertility work up. I have immune problem.Why and how? Please explain further in 10 seconds. I just simply explain that I have high antibody producing cell, I have anti-sperm antibody. Period. Thank God! Elevator time busted!  But, my neighbor extended the chit chat at the lobby for 1 more minute. Ai... If I have anti-sperm antibody, why do i need more antibody? Yes, I needed to produce antibody from donors in order to counter my abnormally high B-cell.  Aiii... help!

Yeah! Try the traditional medicine: herbal and acupuncture. It is tried and tested. Alternative medicine has been around for several hundred years.

The other day, I explained my natural killer cell count is high. It kills everything foreign including my husband's sperm. I also have anti-sperm antibody because of that. Wait! Nk cell has nothing to do with anti-sperm antibody. Shhh... Ooops... I always argue that my NK cell count is not high. Why am I telling my neighbors that my NK cell count is high?

What? What is NK cell? Natural Killer Cell. What is it? Why do I know I have high natural killer cell count? Do I look like a KILLER? (^.^)

Yes. Immunology is a fiction. It seems nobody believes much in it.
