6 year old daughter new to IVIG and SCIG

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have a daughter who just turned 6 and has finally showed the proper criteria

with her pneumonia titers to diagnose CVID. My daughter has been chronically

ill with bacterial/viral/staph and strep infections since she was 3 months old.

Every winter we are in the hospital 1-2 times a month and lived on prednisone

because the infections were so severe in the way the impacted her lungs. With

all that being said, she began IVIG in November and after 3 treatments 28 days

apart she had her first SCIG yesterday. This was our choice because we are

hoping it will be eaiser on her to be at home and have me doing the needles

instead of a stranger. She has been experiencing a tough time with all the

needles and really needs to have some control I think. (She also has an

autoinflammatory disease where she gets needles at home 2 x weekly by me as

well). I am looking for any guidance to make this eaiser on her and any

information that I can look forward to in regards to how SCIG and IVIG has

helped other peoples children. I am hoping for the benefits of the all the

needles to outweigh all the infections Thanks!
