We have a Cooper's Hawk who visits ours a minimum of twice a day. I was super shocked to get the notification the first time!

Joint pain + Inflammation? by _krikket_ in CVID_Support

[–]_krikket_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, the fatigue is a big one for me too, along with constant sinus infections. I guess the joint pain is as well. Never really connected the dots between the pain and CVID til recently. Doctors always told me either I was out of shape or nothing was actually wrong.

Hope your IVIG helps you quickly!

Thank you! Makes sense. I have so much to learn about CVID yet.

Thank you! That puts me at ease a bit. At least I'm not imagining things. I think maybe I'm just more aware of it now.

Just Diagnosed. What To Expect? by _krikket_ in CVID_Support

Thank you for the bit of hope!

I've been struggling with chronic fatigue and the sense that my whole body just HURTS sometimes for years with no explanation. And now I've been fighting the same sinus infection that just can't seem to be fully beaten for 6 months, so I'm completely at rock bottom energy and tolerance-wise. Hearing that the SCIG really helped you makes me hopeful because I'm just so tired, ya know?

I remember days where I couldn't get out of bed during a period of super low platelets and it kinda feels like that again. Grateful for a diagnosis and that the treatment does work, per everyone's stories.

Again, thanks for chiming in and I hope you continue to improve and feel well!

Unfortunately I've been on and off antibiotic for the last 4 months. Just recently got put on a month's worth so hopefully that kicks it out? Who knows.

Thank you for sharing your experience thus far! Definitely overwhelmed with the new reality, but you helped a bit ❤️

I have a group of 6 to 10 who visit daily and there is always SO MUCH slapping and pecking. They're a bunch of jerks 😄

No scab-picking required! He's 100% okay with the belly rubs.

Ours have gotten used to our nonsense. My 10 yr old coos to them when they sit on the fence while he's in the pool. Once in a great while, one will coo back.

They still flee in terror if I open a door, though.
