Living my #CVID life with a sick husband around!😫 If you have never heard of CVID, you are not alone. Even some doctors have never heard of it!😮 CVID is a primary immune deficiency. Simply put, my body does not produce enough immunoglobulin IgG (antibodies) in my white blood cells to fight off viruses, bacteria, infections.😷 Basically I am sick almost all the time. The natural inclination is to boost the immune system with suppliments, oils & vitamins. Which I do of course. What's that saying? "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". 🤒 But that is not the case with my immune system. I still will get sick. There is no cure, it is a genetic defect. The treatment is awfully expensive, lifelong and insurance makes you go through denial and appeals. It's no picnic at the park.😷 Yet read my shirt! "I am Enough"! Yes, I am. I don't use my illness as a crutch. I do what I can and am modest in knowing my limitations. I strive to maintain my confidence every day!💗 * * * #raredisease #pidd #immunedeficiency #cvidwarrior
