Suggest Treatment For IgG Disorder

Thank you. I have been sick for a few years. After 3 major car accidents I was diagnosis with Fibromylgia. I live in pain 24-7. I continually have infections in my body that do not clear up. After several labs I was told I have an Immune Disorder and my body does not produce Protein Antibody that fights infections. I m now having to do infusion therapy once a week giving myself 6 shots in my belly until 3 syrings are gone. I have a major phobia to needles. I ve been doing them for 4 1/2 months. I do not feel much different. What happens if I stop the shots? I have an IgG disorder. Thank you for any help. I am so done with hurting every minute of every day. Gale

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder with a waxing and waning course.
It is managed by steroids.
Pain killers can be added to control the pain.
In addition, the immune deficiency disorder has to be managed by infusion of immunoglobulins.
You are already taking infusions of immunoglobulins, however, if you are not experiencing any improvement, you can consult your treating doctor for review of the medication.
You need to consult your treating doctor before stopping or changing dose of the medication which you are taking.

Thanks and take care
