Immunoglobulin infusion--when it's given.

Fortunately, as soon as the infusions stopped my hair started growing in. Still has a way to go, but is getting there. Waiting and hoping now that the dose of CellCept I am on will keep me from getting worse. Had to cut the dose in half because of a side effect.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try.

My IgG and IgM are really low (my IgA is high but not dangerously so). In discussions with my heme/onc, she said she would consider IgG infusions if I start regularly getting respiratory infections, which I haven't to this point.

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.

@naiviv @fdixon63 @mermaid7272 @lasks @goddard @siragusas may have experiences to share about subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) therapy

What other treatments have been tried?

i have tried herbs, vitamins, antibiotics when i have infections. i have used Methotrexate, Humira, Remicade for autoimmune disease Ankylosing Spondylitis. I just found out about the IgA Deficiency 2 weeks ago, but I am sure I always had it. I have been complaining about my Shortness of Breath and all the other issues for years. I just found a immunologist who diagnosed it.

thank you
