Living with
WHIM syndrome
Living with a chronic immunodeficiency can impact your life
Even with a WHIM syndrome diagnosis, you may still be seeking answers about your recurrent infections and what more can be done to manage them. Talking openly to your healthcare provider about how WHIM syndrome and its symptoms affect you can help them develop a treatment plan that works for you.
Some topics to bring up with your healthcare provider can include:
Frequency, severity, and duration of infections
Other symptoms you may be experiencing, such as warts, and how they impact your life
Current treatments or medications and how you are responding to them
