In 2009, after an extremely severe bacterial infection in the lining of my lungs causing fluid collection, Empyema Stage 3, a small section of my lower left lobe was surgical removed, called a Lung Decortication. I've been receiving IV treatments of plasma, Gammagard every 3 weeks now for nearly 4 yrs. The dosage had increased at reg intervals to try to get my IgG count upto a pretty constant mid-900's. Still not there, but have had far less bacterial infections during this period. Now, my last pneumonia was 1 year ago! My family, as myself, are Very Happy that these infusions seem to be making a Very Good difference!

This medicine has changed my life. I was always sick, always in pain. I felt better after my first treatment. Now when I have a cold, it feels like a cold, not like I can't function.

I have several auto-immune diseases and a genetic immune deficiency, have been on replacement immunoglobin therapy for almost 5 years, been on Gammaguard for the past 2+ years, other than having to go sit for 4 hours and them be able to get a vein, because I don't want a port this has been great for me! I was unable to go out in public at all for over a year until I started this treatment because i would get sick, very sick, had Pnumonia 7 times in one year that I was hospitalized for. Now I can lead a most normal life with this medicine each month, every 28 days like clock work!! Side effects are doable too!
