My Style:
I'm a bargainista who owns a lot of dresses! My favorite Iconic looks (from the lucky guide) are Euro Chic, california casual, posh eclectic, bombshell, mod & bohemian looks.
About Me:
I Love photography, modeling & fashion, sewing, animals, gardening, fitness, music and movies. I was born with hypogammaglobulinemia, which is a primary immune deficiency. I hope to raise some awareness of these genetic immunodeficiencies. The immune system isn't located in just one part of the body. The thymus, liver, bone marrow, tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen & blood all have a part in immune response that protects the body from invaders like viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi, malignant cells, allergens & toxins. When one part of the immune system is missing or not working properly you have an immune deficiency. When the defect in the immune system is carried through the genes you have a primary immune deficiency. Early diagnosis & treatment of primary immune defeciency is essential to prevent the recurring infections from doing permanent damage or causing death. Though they both involve the immune system, primary immune disorders are genetic, aquired immune deficiency (AIDS) is caused by a virus, so they are very different. Treatment of immune deficiencies involve antibody replacement therapy (which I get 3x a week), antibiotics, or in some cases bone marrow transplant, enzyme replacement or gene therapy. Patients like myself can enjoy times of near normal health, then can be struck by a whole range of frightning illnesses and also face alot of ignorance, both medically & socially. Much of the frustration, anxiety, anger and fear PI patients and families face would be so much improved if we received the level of care and support available for other illnesses. This means reliable at home treatments for all patients who need them. Doctors, nurses and people who work with children should be aware of immune deficiencies to aid in early detection and appropriate treatment. Some PIs are quite common occuring in 1/400 individals, other types are as rare as 1 in a million- the rationale for little reasearch & education about PI patients, but there are over 100 different types of primary immune deficiencies & together they may affect up to 1/2 million Americans who deserve proper care, support & hope. The Warning Signs of Primary Immune Deficiency are eight or more new ear infections within one year, two or more serious sinus infections within 1 year, two or more months on antibiotics with little effect, two or more pneumonias within 1 year, failure of an infant to gain weight or grow normally, recurrent, deep skin or organ abscesses, persistent thrush in mouth or elsewhere on skin after age 1, Need for intravenous antibiotics to clear infections, two or more deep-seated infections such as sepsis, meningitis or cellulitis and a family history of primary immune deficiency.
