James has an immune deficiency and depends on plasma donors and plasma-based therapies to stay healthy. Learn about his story. GivingEqualsLiving GivePlasma
“People lend me their immune systems when they give plasma.” Quote from James, a plasma donation recipient.
Now that I get plasma treatments, I’m sick a lot less and am rarely in the hospital. It's really just wonderful that people donate and it's really necessary in the world.I was frequently admitted to the hospital and almost died a few times. Minor illnesses would make me really sick, like the time I had swelling of my epiglottis because I caught para flu on vacation. This swelling blocked my airway and I had to be intubated and sedated for days. Being sick so much was terrible.
A few years ago, I had surgery to remove ear tumors from a secondary disease, and after it, a major infection developed very close to my brain. My doctor said that almost never happens. He knew something else must be going on and tested me for an immune deficiency. That’s when we found out I have primary immunodeficiency.After my diagnosis, I started getting plasma therapy. Now, I have more energy. I’m able to really participate in life and I can hang out with my friends.
