There are only a few people on this board who have had problems and most who have great success. I have over 100 shots with NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM! Many of us have been on Xolair for years with GREAT SUCCESS! Don't let the negative posts influence your judgment. If not for Xolair, I would probably be a much worse Diabetic. The disks in my neck and back would have become so bad I would be paralyzed today because of the gobs of Prednisone I would have to be taking. Relax, you have had only one shot. I have had two every two weeks since September 2003. And by the way, trust your doctor. If you have any fears about taking Xolair, talk to him/her about it. If you still have fears, you have every right to refuse to take it. Doug Group founder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Um, many, many of us have had no problems ever with the drug. Probably had the LEAST side effects of anything I have ever taken.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Doug I was thinking the same thing. Most on here have had no problems. For me it has been sleepiness and weight gain. Even after a year of Xolair but I am dealing with it. I have been so thankful for Xolair these past few weeks because I am redoing my living-room. So I have been dealing with paint fumes, paint thinner fumes, sawdust, drywall dust, and mud dust. I haven't had one problem. A few sneezes every now and then but in the past I would be wheezing like mad. Another thing that I noticed recently was being able to drink wine. In the past if I would drink any kind of fruity wines or drinks I would have massive pain down the back of head into my back. I had two glasses of wine the other night and not one bit of pain. That was a nice surprise. Usually when I drink I would have to drag out one glass of wine over an hour or so to keep the pain at bay but this time I didn't even think it about.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 congrats on starting xolair!! yes, the shots are easy - i've had no reaction (unless you count better breathing!) and i've been on the max dose (3 shots every 2 weeks) for over 3 years. heather > > had my first xolair injection today, they kept me for a half hour > after.
