Could Primary Immunodeficiency explain why my lungs never heal...?!
Question: I keep thinking it may be COPD or chronic bronchitis...I even compared the cough to AIDS...but knew I test neg for AIDS.
So if I stay on anti-biotics but never get past my respiratory problems, does it sound like Primary Immunodeficiency?
I just saw a commercial on Headline News. I had never heard of Primary Immunodeficiency before. It does seem to explain what I have been dealing with.
Anyone here have any experience with Primary Immunodeficiency or its patients?
I have been bronchil my whole life.
Right now I have atelectasis or partially collapsed lung. I have been to the doctor twice in ten days.

Did your doctor check your blood work? I was curious what your White Blood count was, what it looked like on a smear if they performed one? Are you anemic? Any fever? Are you Short of breath? If your doctor is not helping you I would suggest switching if you can. Also, if this continues I would go to a hospital. If the antibiotics are not working then they do not match the infection that is going on with your lungs. Are you a smoker? Allergies? Etc.
