I've had multiple physicals and my vitamin D level checked. I'm in great health with a resting pulse close to 40. I would love to find a root cause here and address it but I haven't found a doctor who has seen anything obvious. I'm with you otherwise. Any ideas?

I was in this same boat (probably not as fit as you), but got sick a lot (pneumonia twice, bronchitis a couple of times, hospitalized with "mystery virus" twice including once leading to ICU, etc etc) no obvious signs of immune compromise, decent Vitamin D nothing showing up on physicals etc until I went to see a Rheumatologist for chronic pain. He diagnosed me with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome[1], which turns out to explain all sorts of other things that I thought were seperate and unrelated problems. It's worth drilling into these things further because there could be some underlying cause that joins all the dots together and (although there's no real treatment for EDS) you could get help.

Shot in the dark and I'm not a doctor but you could look into getting a genetic test for atypical cystic fibrosis. It's increasingly diagnosed into adulthood and recurrent pneumonia is one of the clues.

Atypical would probably be an understatement. I'm not an expert of the disease, but having it along with family members having it, there are many more symptoms that would have appeared by now.

There are milder / alternate forms of CF that are often diagnosed late in life. They're often mild enough that a doctor will immediately rule out CF.
