We did home IV therapy to keep her out of the hospital with Childrens home care.  Tons of IV Ceftriaxone.. through tons of infections...tons.  Seems like it was this long scary dream as she did get somewhat better.   She has been so happy that her health has improved.  The infections are still present but less in frequency.  After all of the years of pain she has been through I feel so bad for her.  She is in pointe ballet and she can hardly dance due to fatigue.  If this is a simple synthroid fix I will be happy.   Does anyone have any insight on the connection with PID/Hypogammaglobulinemia and thyroid issues.  Any thoughts or experiences would be really appreciated.
