My daughter gets allergy shots in both arms and she nearly always has some sort

of " site " reaction. Sometimes the spot is quarter size, sometimes it is half

dollar size, sometimes she has a knot--in both arms! She uses caladryl lotion

on the spots to keep them from itching and that usually helps. I've actually

only had two bruises from the xolair and it was because a different nurse gave

me the shots and she gave them to me too fast.

I have had over Xolair 100 shots since September 2003. I can't even

tell where they gave it. No marks, no pain, nada, zip and zlich!

Now, REGULAR allergy shots are a whole other ball game for me. I have

been on them since 1958.

I can usually feel a slight sting as the extract is going in. Most of

the time it turns red for a few days around the injection site. I have

had times where the redness and swelling was as big as a half dollar.

I get my shots from a nurse at teh doctors office. She said that she takes

it real slow so this does not happen. First time it kind of scared me

because I was not used to get a shot that took that long. I would guess

that it taeks her 30 secs or more to inject the stuff.

Never had nay pain of brusing. Maybe slow it down a little.

I give myself my own Xolair shots and once or twice have done a poor

job of it and bruised myself. Generally I don't have any problems.

I had a lot more difficult time with allergy shots, especially when I

got into my late twenties and thirties (probably due to prednisone,

who knows).
