Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 > > my husband has had asthma/allergies since childhood. has been on methylpred and iv solumedrol off and on for over 1 year. now also diagnosed with PLS in the family of ALS, severe chronic pain, fatigue/exhaustion, atrial fibrillation. have been told that the PLS can affect his breathing, causing shortness of breath due to stiff chest muscles. that on top of the asthma/allergy symptoms has been very bad. will start xolair shots today. am praying for good results! > Welcome, welcome, welcome You have found the right place for friendship and support. Most of us have had wonderful results. For some it has taken a few shots, others (like me) it took just over a year. I have been on xolair since August 2003. Every two weeks, I get my shots. Never had ANY problem whatsoever. I am now completely off steroids and have my life back. God's blessings, Doug Group founder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
