Diagnosed Hypogammaglobulinemia, CVID, Has Become Hyper Vigilant, Has Cough, Runny Nose. Advice ?

I am a sixty year old woman who was, in the last year diagnosed with Hypogammaglobulinemia from bloodwork while seeing a Rheumatologist for burning tongue syndrome. (I have Hashimoto's thyroditis, reactive hypoglycemia, and had one half of my thyroid removed ten years ago). I was then diagnosed with Aggamagloulinemia by an Allergist/immunologist who said, there was nothing they could do for me...my IGA is off charts, low...IGg low on charts. I have just been diagnosed with CVID by my new GP who says I need to see an Immunologist for a second opinion. I have not had a real cold in over six years. I used to be sick (since age 3 all the time, asthma, pneumonia etc. almost died; had tonsils out, hemmorraged, etc.. I have always had longer recovery time getting over colds. It is really really ODD that I have no mucos ...and cough nothing up...in years. I spent one year in agony with the "Burning Tongue" syndrome...all kinds of treatments including anti depressants which I cannot tolerate. Lately I cannot tolerate physically most medicines: had appendectomy last Fall-was allergic to Morphine...got an infection afterwards, pain down legs...long recovery time. Lots of really STRANGE things & yet, I am not what you would consider sickly...no colds all the time etc.. Lots of stomach ailments...acid, had H-pylori, have been having gall bladder issues. My GP wants me to see another Immunologist...I don't know what to do. Don't want to waste anyone's time/money...don't want to run up medical bills to get no where...my husband is hyper vigilant about germs now...it doesn't make any sense. I am 60 years old! I am not sick all the time in the traditional sense...cough, runny nose etc.. But do I just ignore this? What is your advice?

Hi
Thank you for choosing HCM
First of all relax yourself, everyone has immunity which is weak at times which leads to diseases, in your case your immunity is very poor always so you have to take extra precaution about everything. It will take time to adjust and settle.Do some yoga and meditation in the morning it may help
Hope this helps you
Take care
