Hello all, I am a 42 year old woman that has been sick consistently since November 2016. I have had multiple bouts of bronchitis, upper respiratory infections and having fatigue, chest aches (Chest pain has been a constant nagging pain) etc. I was on and off steroids and antibiotics at least 5 times between Novemeber and February. Finally a dr ran tests for my immunoglobulin levels and results were low IGG (subclass 1 & 2) and high igm. I was referred to an immunologist who had my titers tested then had me take the pnuemococcal 23 vaccine, I got a call this week that there was some response on the titers and I will see the dr in a week. From what I have read online the titers should have doubled and be above 1.3 and the new labs show 9 have doubled and or are above the 1.3, 6 haven’t changed and are at <.3, and and 8 moved a little bit ( like .5 to .7). IGG levels and igm are still the same. Does this sound like a deficiency? I don’t understand any of this, I am just anxious, and this has been going on so long that I would love to be close to an answer and hopefully some treatment. I am just coming off 4 weeks of augmentin, and still sick, sinus infection, cough, etc.. I am seeing the immunologist tomorrow and praying to finally have some answers. I am so tired of feeling this way.
IGG was 475 now 508 – subclass 1- 241 subclass 2- 139 and serum at 397
IGM was 516 now 519
and the serotypes are;

Whenever I look the test results up it comes up with cvid, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if that's what the results point towards, and if I passed the titer tests or failed as I suspect.
