I've used your point about break down of IgG on my list of things go ask GP about on Wednesday.

I feel I'm in a position of strength now in one respect - all these doctors have let me down with my op and are all being very charming in effort to stop me taking it any further. I plan to use my GP's sense of guilt to push for a referral to an immunologist. I completely agree that something seems awry with my immune system and I would like to find out what I order to try and prevent any further infections in future. None of them are disputing that I have autoimmunity because it's 100% clear that I do.

If I have a primary immune deficiency is there any treatment for it?

Primary immune deficiency is the quick ticket to IVIG...which can help with autoimmunity issues as well. I really think you might benefit from a trial of it. Of course, it also helps SFN (especially immune mediated SFN).

BTW, about 25% of those with autoimmune disease also have immune deficiency.
