Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Hi everyone, I just read through 119 e-mails. Life just gets too busy!! I can address all the e-mails, so I'd just like to say I am praying for all the sick pumpkins. This time of year can bring on a lot a sickness. When I read the e-mails, I learn so much, but am also confused about so many things. My son Hunter will be turning 7 Nov.13th. It is hard to believe it is 3 years since his diagnoses and receiving IVIG. Hunter has agammaglobulinemia and receives IVIG every six weeks. His levels are running around 350. Knock on wood, he is relatively healthy except for red itchy eyes. I still question how this disorder came about. Is it genetic? Was it caused by a virus, bacteria, immunizations? How can a child be healthy for the first 2 1/2 years of life, and then be sick? I don't get it! Does anyone else question if this is genetic. Is there actual genetic tests to find the gene? Like I was reading, should he have the flu shot? Does anyone have input on natural medicines. Iam very leary about them, but have an open mind. I was reading something on a product called IP-6 to boost the immune system. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Temme -mother to Hunter age 6 -agammaglobulinemiaGet more from the Web.
