For Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome "I use the subcutaneous, 12 grams, once-a-week dosage at home. It seemed to help the first two weeks, but now I am back to the same round of taking antibiotics and getting the sinus problems back a day after stopping the antibiotic. I would like to know why it didn't work. I am tired of living on antibiotics."

For Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome "Horrible drug. Hizentra caused a severe site reaction, ended up in the ER. Severe blood pressure elevation to 180, normal is 120. Still elevated at 140 a week later. May have caused kidney damage. Going back to Gammaguard... way better! No reaction over 3 years."

For Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy "6/23/25 first infusion was not hard to do. started late afternoon waiting for a nurse teacher. 3:30. Finished at 7:30. Took a lot longer than I expected. Only one site was painful (had three). The other two were non-feeling. After removing the needles, the left side of my stomach was still painful. My upper stomach is very swollen, hard, and extremely tender. It is very, very red. I'm not at all sure about this medication."

For Primary Immunodeficiency Syndrome "Once you find a good site, it is relatively painless. Almost no severe reactions yet. I can't handle IVIG very well, so this is it for me."
