Has Anyone Here Done Testing for Immunodeficiency? Here's What I Learned

Hey everyone,

I wanted to start a thread about testing for immunodeficiency because it's something I recently went through and thought it might help others who are facing frequent infections, fatigue, or slow healing.

For years, I kept getting sick—sinus infections, bronchitis, even random skin infections. Doctors would treat the symptoms, but nothing ever really improved. Finally, one doctor suggested testing for immunodeficiency, and that changed everything.

The testing process involved a blood test to evaluate my white blood cell count and immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgA, IgM). These are key markers that indicate how well your immune system is functioning. They also checked how my body responded to vaccines to see if I was producing enough protective antibodies.

If you’ve been dealing with recurring infections or unexplained fatigue, I highly recommend speaking to your doctor about this test. It’s not always part of standard check-ups, but it can reveal underlying issues that often go undetected.

I got my testing done at Medex Laboratories, and they were incredibly professional and fast with results. They walked me through every step and explained what the numbers meant, which helped me feel more in control of my health.

Now that I know I have a mild immunodeficiency, I'm working with a specialist to boost my immune health through treatment and lifestyle changes.

Has anyone else here gone through testing for immunodeficiency? What was your experience like?

Let’s use this thread to share insights and support for anyone considering this important health step.
