Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I first want to thank those that supported me when I first was asking about parents who were diagnosed after their children with PI. Yesterday, after many lab workups they diagnosed me with CVID. I will be starting IVIG at UCLA on April 6th. They are going to do it in the pediatrics department with my 10 year old son. He keeps reassuring me that he will hold my hand when they start the IV (I am not a lover of needles). Thanks again for the information and support I received from the members of this board when I first started the testing awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hi, . At last, you have a diagnosis and will get the treatment that you need. I hope all goes smoothly on the 6th. You are in great hands at UCLA. And, don't hesitate to solicit experiences with SCIG when you are stable and ready to consider. Just wondering...does your lab profile match your son's or was there something different that led the docs to CVID?
