I am so sorry that you have this condition. From the ltitle bit that I've been reading on IgA deficiency, it sounds similiar to Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (that is what I have). You may want to ask your physician about an immune system boosting supplement called "Transfer Factor" (google for more information).
I hope you keep us posted and you are always welcome to post in MedHelp's fibro/CFS forum. I am one of the Community Leaders in the forum.

nothing. he's referred me to a specialist, the one who diagnosed me as iga deficient originally, but i'm still waiting on the appointment.
So what did your physician recommend, as far as treating your condition ?
can't treat iga deficiency with gamma globulin, it will cause anaphylactic shock =(
Yes and especially if you are still having health issues.
Good luck and if you can... let me know what happens !
No, is it something I should look into? I was diagnosed 10 years ago and was told there was no treatment.
Your physician isn't treating you with gamma globulin ?
I'm IGA deficient too and been told that there's really nothing I can do about it. I get sick a lot (a lot less since my tonsils came out though) and I have vitiligo because of it too.
All I do is try to eat healthy and take multivitamins.
