For The Newly Diagnosed

Dear Newly diagnosed adults, teens and parents of the newly diagnosed,

It makes me a little sad to read through these posts, and see so many of you did not get your questions answered. I wanted to give you a few links that may help you find answers you are looking for.

I am the Mom to 3 PIDD kiddos all on IVIG. I don't have all the answers - but I know some places to go to get them.



www.igliving.com [www.igliving.com] a new magazine devoted to patients on IVIG, it's free to those living in the US, & you can subscribe online


www.immunediseae.com [www.immunediseae.com] A Baxter site, one of the makers of IVIG, there is an informative website. There is a cool
thing there my 5 year old likes - it's an immune related video game and some neat patient profiles in the MyStory section. I'd order the newly diagnosed kit they put out as well, it even comes with a CD rom with information



www.info4pi.org [www.info4pi.org] a "clearing house" of sorts run by the Modell Foundation. There is a great list of Immunologists on this site, and some things you can order as well.



www.primaryimmune.org [www.primaryimmune.org] The Immune
Deficiency Foundation They have a wonderful patient and family handbook along with many other great publications, including a school guide. I would make sure to get on their mailing list, they often have events around the US, including a national confrence every 2 years that is very informative.



www.jmfworld.org [www.jmfworld.org] The Jeffery Modell Foundation



www.midf.org [www.midf.org] Michigan Immune Deficiency
Foundation A good collection of links here.

[health.groups.yahoo.com] a patient support group on yahoo for adults - it's very active, but can take awhile to get into.

[health.groups.yahoo.com] A yahoo group for parents, that is very active.

Best to all of you - you are not alone, and there is support out there.

Thank you for this information. I have been looking and looking and information is not easy to find on CVID and what I have found has been the same. Thank you for posting these links.
