Annual bout of influenza

One of the problems with CVID is that you often don't produce antibodies in reponse to infections or immunisations. 

That seems to be the case this year...  While I did skip the flu vax in April this year, I actually had one in November (less than 12 months ago).  My luck being what is is, I have confirmed influenza now.  For once we didn't have to worry about me trying to produce a decent sputum sample.  My doctor requested the dreaded naso-pharyngeal aspirate for rapid viral antigen screening.  Within 24 hours we had our result.

I'm now enjoying my course of tamiflu and incredibly dysfunctional.

I now wonder why on earth I bother to continue with IVIG infusions each month and get stabbed for immunisations each year.  I suppose I could internally justify these assaults as protecting me from more serious illnesses. 

What is done is done, what is contracted is contracted...

I can't wait for summer!
