Guest guest Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Welcome and congrats on getting your first shot! We have had a number of members post that their reactions to non- allergen type triggers have become less frequent or less severe once Xolair has started to kick in for them. I suspect this is due to the fact that as Xolair begins to prevent our allergic reactions, our lungs (and for some of us, our sinuses) become less irritated. By walking around with a lower level of irritation, it is possible that a lot of us will not get so irritated by other triggers, or at least not as severely irritated. Just a suspicion, but I'm going with it! Addy Group co-owner > > on another post about dust mites someone mentioned about frying oil > and their reaction to the burning smell.
