Understanding Immune Dysregulation: What Parents Need to Know
Join Team Iron Will and Dr. Melissa Gans, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Physician at University of Miami, for a FREE webinar all about immune dysregulation in people with Down syndrome.
Many of our children struggle with one or more of these: frequent infections, rashes or skin disorders, joint pain, fatigue, GI problems, behavioral changes, allergies, thyroid issues, blood counts that are consistently off… and the list goes on.
In this webinar, Dr. Gans will break down immune dysregulation from a parent’s perspective, focusing on what it can look like in everyday life and what steps families can take when they suspect their child’s immune system may be playing a role. Learn all about symptoms you should not overlook, testing available, treatment, and how to move forward and find the right medical team.
