2. I do.

I don't have HIV. But I do have CVID, common variable immune deficiency. It's not common, it's just a catchall diagnosis that describes 6 different types of rare to extremely rare immune deficiencies.

So I'm thinking there might be a link somewhere. I take Rx vitamin D and the numbers have improved a bit. Remarkably, I can actually feel the difference when I forget to take it for a couple of days. I have more energy when I'm on it. Not a lot, but certainly more than I had before.

I'm really bad about taking medications, so I've certainly had enough experience on it and off of it. I do inject my Hizentra every day, though. Can't forget that.
