Brief Answer:
Yes,immunoglobulin replacement therapy will make you feel better...

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.

Let me summarize your case:
- 75 years old female
- diagnosed with CVID = common variable immunodeficiency
- symptoms; nauseous in the morning; dizzy all the day

CVID is characterized by :
- low immunoglobulin levels (Ig classes)
- lack of plasma cells responsible for antibody responses
- frequent bacterial infections

The final treatment consists of immunoglobulin replacement therapy.
They can be administered subcutaneously or intramuscular.

Feeling nauseous in the morning is due to possible stomach/GI problems that should be further evaluated by:
- abdominal ultrasound
- fecal examination/culture testing
- if you have also symptoms of : burning in the chest, bloating/fullness after eating, then, upper endoscopy to rule out gastritis/ulcer problems.
Feeling dizzy throughout the day could be due to:
- oscillations in blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Should monitor your bp and bsl, record the results for future reference.
Spondyloarthrosis of the vertebral spine (neck area) should be ruled out by X-ray of that area.
If you have lack of appetite, lack of daily nutrients will also cause you to be dizzy.

If you follow immunological treatment, that will definitely make you feel better as it is the only solution in your case.

Wish fast recovery!
