There isn't anything to do for it except if I have a bacterial infection like strep I need antibiotics (antibiotics don't fight viruses so those just have to be suffered through) to clear it up. And if I need a blood transfusion it must be IgA deficient as well or I could have an allergic reaction to the blood. Supposedly 1 in 500 people are IgA deficient so it is pretty common but not a lot of people know about it.... IgA stands for Immunoglubulin ADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03480657204147898505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23372529.post-37975265198421960222008-06-01T01:01:00.000-06:002008-06-01T01:01:00.000-06:00This is exactly what they did to Ethan's back when...This is exactly what they did to Ethan's back when we to the allergy doc. Except, at the end of our session his back was not only covered in ink marks, but in red little bumps where he had allergic reactions. <BR/>So frustrating to not know what the cause of something is. Hopefully this specialist can help figure things out.Anissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275045992575336638noreply@blogger.com
