Immuniglobulins.
There my be other virus's thst we can catch and suffer immune depression other than HIV, but what happens when you get to the infectious disease doc, once you are HIV negitive you are sent packin back to the internist, or rhuemotoligist. Whats even funnier you are sent packin from message boards, support services, even hot lines.
Most of us are far sicker in the first year than anyone in the first year of HIV infection but nobody helps us. We are put into the "worried well" category, and granted there are those people too, but they are not us.
So after over 60 doctor visits one of my doctors that didn't show me the door, actually beleived me when I said this wasn't all in my head. He ordered ( Immunoglobulin Blood Tests this week) Now these are available through Quest Labs in most places. And guess what The normal range for Immunoglobulin M is 40-150 My result was 6.
Now out of all of thses doctors nobody thought to check for this. Now to find the cause or what I can do to treat it I am still going through the process, but if you have been going through this have your doctor check it out. For information just type in Immunoglobulins on the web. I will keep you updated.
