Hi kw41716, Since it is Thymus related, the doctor to see would be an Endocrinologist to start. He could always direct you to a Hematologist if necessary. Hypogammaglobulinemia is a common immune deficiency disorder. I would assume this is in your medical history so your GP should be aware of the issue as well. x

Unfortunately if you have HMO insurance you'll have to see your GP first and get a referral. I say "unfortunately" because most primary care doctors I've encountered are morons :-P
