Is low IgM a side-effect of CLL drug treatment?
Immunoglobulin M (IgM), which is found mainly in the blood and lymph fluid, is the first antibody to be made by the body to fight a new infection. Does IgM tend to be remain low as a result of taking Rituximab [Rituxan] or other CLL drugs? Are there any known drug or nutraceutical [nutritional supplements

Bronchiectasis and low immunity
I feel like I've had a light bulb moment receiving my immunity blood test results today. I have low level of IgM and low levels of antibodies for haemophilus and pneumococcus. Having a quick Google it seems to make sense that I have developed bronchiectasis. My consultant has requested I get vaccinated

APS positive but won’t diagnose
Hello everyone, I hope you all are well. So I tested positive for Cardiolipin IGM twice...very highly elevated levels...however my rheumatologist has advised she can’t diagnose me with APS because clinically I don’t fit the criteria (not enough miscarriages-I’ve had 2 miscarriages and I have two healthy

update on my quest.
Hi, sorry it has been a while, I have now had my second appointment at Derriford and a lovely letter from Guys and ST Thomas'.

Does Anti-phosphatidylserine = APS diagnosis?
Hello! I could really use some direction. (Located in US). I tested positive - twice - for anti-phosphatidylserine IgM (32 and 53). I tested negative for the three “standard” labs. I had a knee to pelvis DVT two years ago. The hematologist at that time told me it was the Pill. She pulled all

Hoping for a little clarification
I was diagnosed with obstetric APS (no previous thrombosis events) in 2017, but just focussed on getting my baby here safely. Since delivery (successfully) it seems my APS has amped up to a triple positive and I’m now experiencing a range on symptoms. Last week a saw a local specialist (from the list

With a CLL diagnosis, knowing more about your immune system could save your life!
When we are diagnosed with CLL/SLL or the precursor MBL, we need to appreciate that we are immune compromised to some degree. Our immunity also worsens the longer we live with our diagnosis and also with CLL treatment, so infections can significant impact our life expectancy. (Growing older doesn't

Careful with rituxan
I had six cycles of rituxan. You are right! Great drug. But it wiped out All of my B cells. I did not know. Just that I was sick constantly. Now, I not only can never take rituxan, but need IGG infusions every four weeks the rest of my life for decreased IGG and do not make good Immunity to immunizations

Understanding prognosticators early on
I've watched all the videos on Patient Power and Cll Society. I've read what I can. And now sifting through my initial blood test results is alarming me. Mind you now I haven't even yet seen the specialist--two top specialist appointments are scheduled over the next three weeks--and I don't know any
