Honestly, I think you need to give a more time before making an assessment on the SFN. It is not uncommon for pain to be deferred (in a way) when you have something else going on. Your brain can only focus on one thing at a time, so to speak, and therefore your body is in healing process from the gallbladder removal. You have a lot going on pain wise and need to let these other acute issues resolve, then you'll know whether your SFN is really doing better. If I remember correctly (whether you or another poster), this has happened before...where infection or other pain sort of put SFN on the back burner as they say. Once things resolved, the SFN come right back. I hope this is not the case with your current situation, but I think you need to let everything heal before making any conclusion on the SFN.

You seem to have an issue with repeated infections. Have they checked your IgG subclasses? Checking a total IgG is not enough, as many with primary immune deficiency have normal total, yet one or more (of the 4) deficient subclasses. Just a thought.


Good to hear you are on the mend!
