Genetics: Why you may inheret a disease?

Is it possible that people who have a 'genetic' disposition, a vulnerability to a disease, may in fact have a vulnerability to certain bacteria, certain viruses, or certain parasites ?

My brother in law's boyfriend, a hypochondriac, now says he has an over active immune system. I briefly researched this on webmd and only came up with auto immune disorders, a list/group of immune disorders, with lupus topping the list. So, is there an illness also referred to as over active immune system?

For example, how long do the caffeine effects of a cup of coffee last? A can of soda? Is it true that people "crash" after a "high" from caffeine?

Alright. I hate myself. I hate almost everything about myself, and I don't understand how anybody could love me. However, I have a boyfriend who loves me very much. The problem is that I have a hard time believing that he loves me or that he's sexually attracted to me, because I hate myself so much. I want to trust him, but I just can't believe him. I can't believe that ANYBODY would love me or find me attractive.
