Wow. Can’t believe someone mentioned this. So. My story…I was 47 when i met an allergy and immunologist that I said “I told my husband when I met him, that I’ll die of pneumonia because I get bronchitis so often!” He treated me and found out I was IgG deficient. Not on labs, but I didn’t make the antibodies to the pneumonia vaccines. Both of them. So i started taking IgG weekly. Haven’t been sick since. Then, I was in the pain clinic for neck pain. During the same time. Failed out per dr, he told me to look for surgeon. I said I never understood WHAT I had, what disease, that I was in there for!?! And why do I hurt ALL OVER for so many years but worse now. I had been taking many antinflammatories for years in the pain clinic. Then my PA husband goes to a woman’s conference and says…I think you have PsA. 2 weeks later, dactylitis. I have it bad. I think. Sulfasalazine worked great for like 6 weeks. Methotrexate was awful. Humira at 1 yr not working anymore. He doubled up on humira WITH sulfasalazine. It ain’t working. To me it’s all enthesitis. I want to try stelara because it looks like it helps best for that. I’m never sick anymore because of my IgG though btw. That part is wonderful.
