sick all my life

hello all, my name is Gabe.  I was diagnosed with CVID in 2014 after passing out in my ENT's office.  I have suffered all my life with severe coughing fits.  To the point were i wouldnt sleep for 3 or 4 days.  My coughing got so bad that i actually scared my lungs!  Anyways to make a long story short, the IVIG has been helping however i still get sick.  The coughing fits only last about a day now, which is better than 4 days lol.  We all have stories, probaly all bad.  Just remember that everyday alive is a good day!!!
