Sign in day for the IDF Conference in St Louis

WOW, today is the the day we all meet in St Louis.  There was a welcoming party at 4:30 today.  I tried to meet as many patients as I could, but I could not make a dent.  There are some terrific PIDD patients here, as well as family members, and healthcare workers.  Today is also the set up day for the vendor display- talk about busy.  I met a family with 3 PIDD kids, some patients in my age group, patients who have given me hope already.

I can’t wait to hear the session speakers tomorrow.  We start bright and early with a talk about treatment options @ 7:00!!!!!  Sorry, but I am usually only turning over at that hour.

I’ll get some pics up here tomorrow evening after the Catch the Spirit Celebration. I will say this, I’m beat.  This whole being a patient at a conference is very tiring.

Off to bubble bath and beddy bye.

Tomorrow is another day

Hi from Minnesota

Hi from Minnesota. I have been living with PIDD (Primary Immune Disease or Primary Immune Deficiency Disease or Immunodeficiency) for many years. I started treatment for CVID in 2004. I currently receive my IgG therapy by self-infusing, or using the Sub Q (subcutaneous) method. I have been feeling so much better since receiving IgG therapy. I feel like I have my life back, and it’s a very active life. I have 2 sons and 5 grandkids. They really help me keep my attitude positive, and my energy charged. I am able to work, play and exercise thanks to my treatment. Yes, I still leave time for resting and relaxation and I sleep 8 or 9 hours every night which is how I recharge the ole battery. I was in sales before I got sick, but since I’ve been diagnosed with PIDD, I have dedicated my life to advocating for this disease in any way that I can. I love working with patients, doctors and healthcare workers. It’s all about education. I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading my blog and feel free to contribute any comments. We are one in this journey.
