Hypogammaglobulinemia: Caring for my teenage son

in response to @elynnbish I am so sorry to learn about your son's condition, one that I share. I am sure your son's hematologist would be able to help him with his condition, which I understand can be confusing, complicated and frustrating. Fortunately I have not had any complications yet, but nonetheless am concerned about the diagnosis which I understand more than I can explain. I have many of the same problems as your son, and while I am frustrated by the lack of understanding among my doctors, I try to do the best I can. However, I am much older than your son, and can only imagine how he must feel with all of the tests, symptoms and things of that nature. I hope that you are able to get him the care that he needs, and that will also ease your own mind.
Be well

We actually don’t have a hematologist I never thought about that or knew it was an option and tell your suggestion thank you so much maybe I’ll look into that as. It has been really rough because for the first year it seems he was doing bloodwork or stool samples or x-rays at least two or three times a week plus he has braces so he has to see an ortho.. and the pain he gets with his body he has to go to the chiropractor for adjustments as well. I appreciate that suggestion on the hematologist. I never knew it was an option. I would love for somebody to look at all of his bloodwork and actually see the trending patterns in it.
