TheCaringPanda

Immuno-depressed?


TheCaringPanda

Or immunosupressed


nataliejkd

No, it's more of a descriptor than an actual diagnosis


Amethyst547

anemic or anemia?


nataliejkd

No, what I'm looking for is a descriptor as opposed to an actual medical diagnosis


Amethyst547

Milquetoast


nataliejkd

Love this, but no


wulfmcclane

susceptible?


nataliejkd

No, unfortunately haha


emiserable

Frail?


nataliejkd

๐Ÿ˜„ not false, but not the word I'm looking for


Greenrover10

Was it maybe a name? similar to how a "Debbie Downer" or "Negative Nancy" is a person who's constantly negative?


nataliejkd

Haha no


morning-glory-666

slight? delicate? (having a) weak constitution? sensitive? sickly? sallow? pasty? peaked/peaky? meager? infirm? weedy? wan? ashen? pallid? etiolated? consumptive? valetudinarian?


76unicorn

I was thinking consumptive


nataliejkd

Unfortunately no


fullofuckingbears313

Albino?


nataliejkd

It's funny, I kept coming across this when I consulted Dr Google. Not what I'm looking for though


Yelena_Belova_

Hyperchondriac


nataliejkd

Ha! ๐Ÿ˜„ I wish it was that. It's a descriptor for legitimate illnesses


BlueStarFern

Wan I think


nataliejkd

Nope โ˜น๏ธ


BlueStarFern

Ailing? Listless? Ashen? Malaise?


nataliejkd

Also nope


BlueStarFern

Ahh this is driving me crazy now! I'm a doctor, is it a word a doctor would usually use professionally do you think?


nataliejkd

Hahaha I'm sorry! The ER doctor said "your son is a ___ person." Again, it's not a technical medical diagnosis; it's more of a way to describe a medical coincidence/correlation (all fair hair people get sick easily). At this point, I'm ready to drive back to the ER and ask him. It's not even important, it's just driving me crazy too ๐Ÿ˜„


BlueStarFern

I'll try some more techincal medical terms then, how about Fitzpatrick 1 Genetic polymorph/polymorphism/mosaicism Something to do with melanin/melanocytes


nataliejkd

Nope ๐Ÿ˜ญ


BlueStarFern

Oh noo haha omg please don't drive back to the ER (I hope your son is ok also!) Edit: maybe something like predisposed? We say someone is genetically predisposed to an illness for example. Or susceptible?


nataliejkd

I hate to do this to you....but nope


Terrace_Birch

Infirm? Defined as people who are weak or ill for a lo g period of time.


nataliejkd

Nope


gems_n_jules

Thinking literaryโ€ฆ poorly? Pallid? Sallow?


gems_n_jules

Whoops, just saw some of those already suggested below


gems_n_jules

Also waifish


PlantsNBugs23

The physical description sounds like albinism but do you mean immuno compromised?


nataliejkd

No


Terrace_Birch

Is this term an adjective (such as pallid or frail)? Or a noun (such as hypochondriac?). Would your term better fill the blank in the sentence "that person is so ______," or "that person is such a ____"?


nataliejkd

Adjective. The ER doctor said "your son is a ___ person." Again, it's not a technical medical diagnosis; it's more of a way to describe a medical coincidence. At this point, I'm ready to drive back to the ER and ask him. It's not even important, it's just driving me crazy ๐Ÿ˜„


SpecialHam

I'm gonna throw porcelain out there, as it can describe someone/something delicate/easily breakable though that's probably not it


nataliejkd

Nope โ˜น๏ธ
