Thanks Susan. Are yours much different? My subclass 1 was close to the bottom of the range so I was concerned about that. Not sure if I am being overly cautious.

I would say you are good - not to worry.

Perhaps check again in the future.

If you still suspect an immune deficiency you could do vaccine challenges - see how your body responds. ie Tetanus, H.Flu., and Strep.

If inadequate response - maybe, maybe an ID.

Forgot - did you have your IGM and IGA totals checked with the IGG?

Maybe next time have the other totals checked. Although not much can be done about those if deficient - but would be good to know.
