Hi everyone,
Part of the bloodwork that I had indicated that I have several deficiencies in my immunoglobulins. Specifically, I have a very low IgM, IgG3, and IgG4. (My total IgG looks normal, but those two subclasses are below normal levels.)
Have any of you had any tests with those sorts of results or any other Ig deficiency? Have the tests improved because of/during your time on these antibiotics?
Do the IV antibodies have any chance at all at getting at the cpni inside cells? Hmm... also, if it does get to them, do I run some sort of risk by having them go nuts on the cpn?
If you have had experience in general with IVIG, I would like to know how you responded.
I believe my doc is willing to treat me with intravenous immunoglobulins to bring the IgG up. However, if the IgG is low because of CPN or something like it, I'll definitely need to keep on the abxi . However, I'm scratching my head as to how to tell the difference between the IVIG fixing me and the abxi fixing me. (I have read stories of people who only needed one or two infusions and they were actually completely "cured"... it seemed that their body just needed the temporary boost to get their own systems going...)
