What is dysgammaglobulinemia I would like to know your signs and symptoms. That's something that I have not been able to find . I would also like to meet others with this rare so they say disease?
From what my Immunologist told me, Dysgammaglobuinemia is an immune disease that effects your platelets. Your body just does not produce the right ammount of platelets to properly fight off infections. In my case, if i get an infection, I end up in the hospital for IV antibiotics, because prescription antibiotics do not work.. My body just fights off the antibiotics just as its and infection itself. Treatment consist of : long term oral antibiotics and if they dont keep me from getting a respiratory infection, then monthly Gammaglobulin infusions will have to be administered.
