Common Variable Immunodefeciency (CVID)

Tweet

I am looking for anyone who has CVID. I was diagnosed with it in 1998. It took a long time for the doctors to figure out what was wrong with me. It was a tough process to go through. Unfortunately, I passed this to my daughter through my genes. ~Symptoms are:Hypogammaglobulinemia (Low levels of IgG, IgA, and/or IgM) ~Lack of normal levels of antibodies ~Joint pain ~Chronic infections: bronchitis, sinusitis ~Viral infections: pneumonia, colds, influenza, shingles, conjunctivitis ~Tiredness ~Chronic swelling of the lymph glands ~Enlarged spleen ~Atrophic gastritis with pernicious anemia ~Diarrhea ~Malabsorption ~Failure to thrive ~Poor titer levels in response to vaccination This is not a complete list.... more to come soon!
