Maha, I feel for you. I have a slight igg1 deficiency. And my life is hell. I can't imagine what you are going through. I would love to connect with you and have us track our progress together. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Ahmed.

​@@TheAhmedvienna thanks for your reply, how has your diagnosis impacted your life, do you get IgG infusions for your situation?

@@maha77 no. The immunologist said that my condition is so light, that I don't need it. He prescribed me prophylactic antibiotics. Which now I take only on the onset of an infection. Which could happen once a month or 6 months. I have grown a bit depressed the past year. I'm still not sure why this is happening to me at this age (36). But I'm sure it way more severe with you. Do you take ivig? How did you get to where you are?

I am so sorry to hear. My son is now being tested. For years. He gets sick about 5-6 times a year. He gets well, but catches colds oe viruses easily. He has had covid x3. Needless to say, I am very concerned. He is 17. This has been happening for years. His pediatric doc said, No, he just has bad luck. Well here we are four years later and after having been sick 4 times since August 22. (It is now late October) he is sick again. So it was suggested today to test his IGg levels. Should I be worried?

@@alabamajenny8751 It took the doctors _years_ before I was properly diagnosed and they tested my IgG levels. Once I got the results, all my issues made sense. If they find that is the issue with your son, do the opposite of worry, because now you will be able to do something about it. The IgG infusions work wonders and your son can have a normal life. Make sure they test the IgM and IgA levels as well. It seems most people with IgG deficiency still have normal levels of IgM and igA, so people who get the IgG infusions will have a robust immune system. Somehow I'm one of the rare ones that is missing all of them, and they can only infuse the IgG, there is no treatment for the others. Please keep me updated on the results! Another thing that may help you son is a really healthy whole-foods diet, with less and less processed food. It seems people with IgG issues can have digestive issues & issues with gluten and other foods. Fine-tuning my diet has helped me a lot.

That’s what I’m looking for.

I have the same problem. I was exposed to black mold and it caused me to have a mite and worm crawling feeling. I want answers too. iGG has something to do with mold, candida or fugus. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this.

I had prolonged mycoplasma pneumonia after renovating a house and not knowing I had IgG deficiency in all 4 IgG subclasses about 20 years ago, ultimately getting my infection cultured by my pulmonologist in consultation with an infectious disease immunologist to customize my treatment. I wish they discovered my hypogammaglobulinemia as infections are otherwise relentless for me. I currently get IVIG every 3 weeks and was placed on doxycycline a year ago, which has helped.

It means you have a slight immunity to Covid. As IGG is the main antibody. ...Maybe you had an early case of covid. Who was your doctor?

I would love to hear your thoughts. What would you do? What is your accreditation?

Im watching this because my cough won't go away, and I think I aspirated coconut oil, as I can tasteor smell it coming out. But Im glad I oil pulled when I did because I had a date stem stuck in my throat that came out due to oil pulling. The stem compromised my defenses and I fell asleep after drinking a store bought smoothy on accident not knowing tbe stem wasin there and woke up feeling funky. Anyway, all sorts of mistakes with this one. But Im thinking my best bet to clear the lipids from my lungs is a fast. And never oil pull when congested again.
