I just looked up the common symptoms of autoimmune diseases so now I have a better understanding, however I still don't believe that is my issue(although not sure). Both you and Kiwi suggested further testing with a clinical immunologist, however I might have to find one in NY or PA. I will talk to the immunologist who I see this Wednesday.
In order to qualify for IVIG(even if my medical plan would pay for it) would I have to have both CVID and an autoimmune disease?

Someone needs to step up tot he plate for you and provide some direction. I wold contact the immunologist and get his opinion and if you have current autoimmune type symptoms, then see a rheumatologist (can't hurt).
Do you know the results of your skin biopsy?
