Colin and Lisa, the Founders of Immune Competence, sit down and talk about their journeys with Primary Immunodeficiency, as well as best practices they have picked up to become successful patients. Lisa and Colin discuss why they started Immune Competence, and why everyone should go to a National Conference with the Immune Deficiency Foundation. The conversation jumps around to the Olympics, must have sick items, and yeah even an idea for a PI Singles dating website.

Life comes at you fast! Now imagine trying to navigate the awkwardness and weird situations you find yourself in, all while dealing with a chronic illness. It’s emotional. It’s funny. It’s hard. 

My name is Colin and my partner in crime is Lisa. We were both born with a chronic illness called common variable immunodeficiency and our medication comes from the generosity of plasma donors. 

See, we are all Powered by Plasma, some like Lisa and I rely on plasma medicines to survive, while others have the ability to donate plasma and help patients like us. 

Join us as we navigate the awkwardness of life with a chronic condition. Together, we can find the missing pieces that make the journey a little more fun and hopefully just a little easier.
