NOW ABLE TO LEAD MORE NORMAL LIVES
Stacey Monden and her sons Gary and Gage are able to lead more normal lives since they began receiving intravenous immunoglobulin treatments in February 2011 for Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), which is characterised by low levels of serum immunoglobulins (antibodies) and increased susceptibility to infections.
“CSL Behring’s intravenous immunoglobulin allows us to go out and enjoy everyday activities like everyone else,” says Stacey. “We used to go shopping at 1:00am to avoid excessive exposure to people and their germs. This therapy allows me to be a mum and do things with my children that were not possible before. Now we can go to the mall, church, sporting events, movies, and be involved in community activities.”
