Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 That sounds exactly like what he has. The doctor has referred to it as agammaglobulinemia to us, but he has said several times that he is deficient in IGG, IGA, IGE.... and he does have IGM.. He was on several trial medications as a young child including a trail drug GCSG(something like that) that was given IM. I had asked about the possibility of a bone marrow transfusion but was answered that it wouldn't do any good since we aren't sure what the actual cause of his immune problem was. We treat him symptomatically. Needless to say.... he has a lot of symptoms to treat. He's been talked about across the US amongst Dr.'s but we've only seen our ONE immunologist. The whole PSC is devastating to me to think this will top off his other complications. He never complains. He never loses hope and never loses faith.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Stacey, I have had cvid all my life (totally deficient in IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE) and have been receiving ivig every three weeks since 1990. I was diagnosed with " something like PSC " 11 years ago. In 2003 I had non-hogkins lymphoma, which caused lymphocytic deposits in both the kidneys and liver leaving me with 30% liver function, and 50% kidney function. I am now on the transplant list (for a liver only). We have always considered it just another pot hole in the road of life. My kids have grown from being toddlers, to now starting high school, and hopefully I'll see them both get married and have careers. I look back at some professional photos I had taken when the psc diagnosis came up, thinking they would need a good photo of their mother as they wouldn't remember me....thank god they don't have to remember me by those photos. They were shockers! Hang in there, we thrive on being complicated. I laugh when I see medical personnel meet me, and amaze that I am so young for such a big complicated chart (I'm 43). It gives me my kicks for the day! Penny T (Australia) That sounds exactly like what he has. The doctor has referred to it as agammaglobulinemia to us, but he has said several times that he is deficient in IGG, IGA, IGE.... and he does have IGM.. The whole PSC is devastating to me to think this will top off his other complications. He never complains. He never loses hope and never loses faith.
