    You’re such a blessing. After years and years of struggles. I’ve seen over 10 specialist and tons of labs. I got Covid19 June 18,2020 and being a long hauler is what landed me in the arms of my angel doctor my immunologist. He just diagnosed me with CVID. You’re message is just what I needed to hear. You’re beautiful and I love your hair wrap... it looks great. I’m excited to gain my health back with treatments and be the mom I want to be. Thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️

    Living your life with low bar doctors who can’t think outside the box
    Finding doctors who raised the bar is unique.
    Finding doctors who are willing to challenge the issurance company’s for the infusions.
    More power to you, I diagnosed myself with cvid four years ago just doing my own research.
    Not even hearing the word cvid before.
    It’s four years later and I still can’t find a doctor who is willing to think outside the box
    My numbers float the borderline immunoglobulins .

      Do you get frequent infections? Are you on and off antibiotics? This has been my life for almost two years and I can't get to the bottom of it. I came upon CVID after tons of research about my problems. I believe I have this as in 2020 my IgA was below normal levels and has been tittering on the edge for a long time. My lymphocytes are also low. My doctor said everything looked good on the blood work even though I had these low numbers and frequent infections. I need immune therapy! Are you getting treatment now?

    I could really relate to your story in so many ways. I started getting sick after a bad reaction to a vaccine when I was about 4. I think that I got CVID from the vaccine screwing up my immune system.. I was very sickly. In my early thirties I started getting very sick. I literally felt that I might die, and I got passed around to different docs also. I knew something was really wrong, but could not find out what, until I met a PA ear nose & throat doc. She figured it out and sent me to an immunologist, about 15 or more years ago. I was diagnosed with CVID. I felt so relieved to know what was wrong with my body. Then I started reading about it and I was devastated. It's not a great diagnosis to have. I have been getting weekly sub q infusions for all this time. I do feel much better, not quite normal, but close. It's hard to get the infusions every week. It takes up an entire day, but if that's what have to do to stay alive and feel decent, I'll do it.

    Anyone who knows about anyone other than Ironmouse and Elizabeth who has this deficiency condition please provide info here. This is a very rare occurrence at no more than four in 100,000.

      Hi there! We have lots of other videos about CVID, and we have hundreds of people in our community who have been diagnosed with it. Because it's a blanket diagnosis to describe a number of genetic errors, it can often present differently for different people.
