Type of primary immunodeficiencies?

I have a buddy that claims she has a primary immunodeficiency of sorts, but I can't recall it she mentioned which one specifically. Is there a primary immunodeficiency condition that involves the following conditions (I'm not sure if they're related or not, so give or take a couple symptoms): chronic colds/sniffles/runny nose/etc, increased frequency of flu-like viruses, a higher degree of seriousness when the individual gets a flu-like virus, fibromyalgia, prone to infection, prone to scarring. I also know she's had nervous disorders, a few hormone imbalances, and suffered from Shingles Disease about a year ago and still hurts from it. Any ideas?

It could be Hidradenitis Suppurativa. Check out http://www.hs-usa.org or http://www.hs-foundation.org for more info.

Although most autoimune deficiencies will come with things like chronic colds/runny noses, prone to infections and all secondary infections and viruses must be treated with the utmost importance. Your list of symptoms does not really narrow it down enough, as many of the things you've listed could be found with any autoimune disorder.

Why don't you just ask her what she has?

Sounds a lot like Lupus to me,

Hopefully it will answer any other questions you have
