"I have Common variable immune deficiency (CVID). First time ever receiving this (gammagard) developed severe headache, N&V&D. Temp 100.2 and low back pain. I felt like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. Symptoms continued for 4 days. Second treatment gave me temp of 102, N&V, back pain, hypotension and lasted 3 days. 3rd dose was changed to phlebogard and I had headache , low back pain. & symptoms lasted 2 days, but did not start until 48 hrs post administration. Much better toleration."

"I was diagnosed with CVID in December 2019. My body weight had fallen from about 220 pounds to less than 130 pounds in 2 1/2 years, even after following a strict diet for celiac disease. In 2019, two different specialists examined me and found that I had severe CVID; they insisted that I was being misdiagnosed as having celiac disease. My immunologist prescribed monthly infusions of Gammagard IVIG. It took about two years to gain weight back to a reasonable level; I now live a normal life. Like some other patients, I started to feel low back pain about halfway into my infusions. My immunologist prescribed Solu-Medrol to be given before the infusions. I no longer have pain. After 6 years of using Gammagard IVIG, I am being changed to Gammagard SCIG. My immunologist feels this will yield more consistent IGG levels and eliminate the need for Solu-Medrol. The Takeda Patient Support program (OnePath) made this drug affordable. Gammagard saved my life!"
