Immunoglobulin infusion--when it's given.

My IgA is low (Iga Immune Deficiency) and my doctor is recommending Plasma Immunoglobin (SCIG) infusions. I am scared. I have seen some sites that say immunoglobin won't help with fighting infections not used for IgA deficiency. Other sites says it can help...but no cure. I am looking for someone who has used immunoglobin.
I have Bronchietasis, keep getting SIBO or overgrowth of bacteria in my gut and sinus infections, short of breath and constant infections.
