Common Variable Immunodeficiency Support Group
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a group of 20-30 primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) which have a common set of symptoms but with different underlying causes. CVID's underlying causes are different, but the result of these are that the body doesn't produce sufficient antibodies in response to exposure to pathogens.
Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. I have been a little frustrated with things and I did not want to be negative. It looks like the pharmacy change should be okay. The Immuno put me on a new steroid nasal spray which sems to be working. She gave me a sample and called in a Rx. The insurance is not paying for it so the cost was $164.00. Luckily we received from unexpected back pay from the VA for my husband, Not sure how we will pay for it next month but for now I can breath and the drainage seems to be a lot less.The Immuno now has said it is time to start allergy shots. I have put it off for about 2 years.
I hope everyone is doing well.

It's great to hear from you! I was worried. I'm glad the pharmacy change has worked out for you. I'm sorry about the nasal spray. That's a lot of money! Has your doctor called and asked the insurance to pay and told them why you need it and all the other stuff you've tried? I hope they pay it. I'm sorry about the allergy shots. I understand not wanting any more sticks. I hope they help and you feel better on them. I'm so happy to hear from you and to know you are OK. If you ever need anything, feel free to call me. I'm not far away.
Sending hugs and love,

Nice to see your post. Today. :-)
My immuno had me on Dymista for 6 months, nasal spray to help with allergies that triggered my asthma (not steroidal). The insurance company wouldn't cover it and I got a coupon from the manufacturer that reduced the price from $180 to $51 a month. Much more manageable. The coupon was good for 6 months. Maybe your manuafacturere could have some help. Hugs - Zen
