So glad for your beginning recovery and prayers for complete remission and good health. One suggestion occurs to me: have you had your gamma globulin titers checked? I am on weekly infusions of Hizentra, which I take for gamma globulin titers probably suppressed since infancy. Is there a reason for your unusual susceptibility to infection? If yes, I opted for self-administration of replacement gamma globulin, which I infuse weekly. This option is less likely to have negative side effects compared with monthly IVIG administered by an infusion nurse.

@gillysmom Thank you for the suggestion. I have never heard of that before. I’m not sure why I have had such a difficult time with fighting off infections my whole life. I can remember as a kid it taking a really long time even getting rid of a cold once I got it. I guess I’ve had a lousy immune system my whole life. When I was 32, I got an infection which I thought was a lingering sinus infection. It was questionably diagnosed as Mono, and quickly developed into Guillian Barré’ Syndrome. That was a 2 year recovery from being paralyzed, and within a year after that I was diagnosed with reactivated Epstein Barre, and Hypothyroidism. I have struggled with EBV ever since. Seems that my immune system just can’t keep it in remission. I’m going to read up on that suggestion of Gamma Globulin. I was very excited about the LDN suggestion, but it’s hard to tell at this point how much it has helped. As I said, I’m only on 2 mg so far. I figured it was worth a try though. Thanks for your reply.
