Angelika_23 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I saw Dr. Grubb at the end of July. He was concerned that I keep getting "sick" so much. I get everything that comes along, and keep it longer. Dr. Grubb suspects a possible immune deficiency, especially since one of my children does have a diagnosed IgA deficiency.So the new doctor has ordered a slew of testing and the thought of accomplishing it makes me tired. Skin allergy testing, blood tests and CT scan.I am still constantly exhausted and am still having stomach issues. Thanks for letting me ventAngela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliegee Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well you have to admire his thoroughness I am officially immune deficient and have NO idea how this related to autonomic issues or if it does. Did he fill you in on that? Is there a relationship? My IgG is at 500. I'm re-testing at the end of Sept. If I'm below that I have to get IVIG therapy. Let us know the results of your testing. I also hate all of the medical testing/etc. I try to go into it with a sense of humor, almost separating myself from my body...if that makes any sense. They can do whatever they want to my body, It doesn't affect/change/hurt the essence of me. Just my weird way of coping Hugs-Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia3 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well I know it's more stuff added to your plate, but.... be happy he is TESTING you to search for answers. I've also been concerned at how often you pick up things but I know you are around lots of kids and co-workers...the latter forced to come to work sick!!...hope that rule changes with all the flu talk going around in the news. And after what your son has been through, too.I hope you get some answers since your son shows the IgA deficiency. I know the testing will be tiring but it's a great opportunity for a doctor to order such things. Keep us posted on your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjan Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Although there is often an autoimmune disease connected to Dysautonomia..and I have one..I do NOT get the colds/flu or can brush it off if I start a sore throat etc. I see this amazing specialized nutritionist to rid my body of any toxins (believe me we have a lot from what we eat..drink..breathe in pollution and even from our meds). THen he builds UP my system by this very thorough evaluation that can detect any area of my system or brain that may be depleted of nutrients or toxic. He gives me organically grown nutrients which do not interfere with ANY meds cuz its WHOLE FOODS ground into tablets. He is so amazing that my specialists send me back this nutritionist as they cannot do what he does. Once our brains (and systems) are replenished.. and inflammations in our body eliminated.. you will see your symptoms diminish as your brain is healthier to fight off any invasive elements or virus'He corrected my balance..cog fog..improved my memory etcAND..I have this product called IMMUPLEX to keep my immune system healthy.Good luckwarmly Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
