The Woman Who Finally Got Her Diagnosis

Lillie Hunnicut spent nearly 15 years battling a rare immune disorder—CVID—only to be told repeatedly she was fine, until finally, after years of debilitating fatigue, stomach issues, and near-total collapse, she got the diagnosis that changed everything. CVID, which leaves the body unable to produce protective antibodies, affects thousands, many of whom go undiagnosed. For Hunnicut, the diagnosis was a lifeline: it validated her suffering and gave her hope. Now on lifelong immunoglobulin therapy—made possible by plasma donors—she’s recovering, hiking, and running again. A fierce advocate for plasma donation, she urges anyone feeling unheard by doctors to trust their bodies and never stop fighting for answers.
