As everyone should know by now, I have been on Xolair since 2003 LOL! :)

I don't think I have had a URI or even sinus infection in these last

4+ years.

Hello Doug,

I just joined this group because my sinus specialist wants me to try

Xolair. I suffer from asthma but more so, constant sinus infections. I

typically spend most of the year dealing with sinus infections and the

loss of smell and taste. I typically have to go on prednisone every

other month to clear it up.

Did you have similar problems with sinus infections before going on

Xolair? If this helps I can't wait to go on it!

Thanks, Larry

Hi Larry and Welcome :)

No, I haven't had sinus problems since I had septum surgery in 1994.

There ARE several in our group who do have major probs in this area

and xolair has been a big help. I am sure you will get responses from

them soon :)

I was having sinus infections two or three times a year, which often turned into

respiratory (lung) infections as well, so it was prednisone and antibiotics. I

have not had a sinus infection (no prednisone and no antibiotic) since January

of 2006 and have been on xolair since Aug. 2006. Here is what I think: during

the allergy seasons here where I live, I would have severe sinus

rhinitis--sneezing and lots of nasal drainage, which always turned into

infections. I think the xolair is working on those the allergies that caused

the sinus rhinitis which in turned caused the infections. So--not even close to

an infection since I have been on xolair.

Each infections would cause my asthma to exacerbate. Therefore, no

infections, no asthma. At least that is my theory about what xolair has done

for me.

Hope it helps your infections as well.

I, on the other hand, have been on Xolair for nearly a year and am crawling with

sinus infection. Just finished a course of fluconazole and cipro and am three

weeks into six weeks of daily infusions of cefepime through a pic line that goes

into my arm and empties somewhere near my heart. I've been fighting a mold

infection, some other infection and a pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. And

I've had three different sinus surgeries. The fun never stops.

Terry: I am so sorry you are having such difficulties. I can certainly

sympathize with you. And I am sorry the xolair hasn't helped your sinus

infections. I think maybe mine were caused because of the severe drainage/mucus

production from the rhinitis (what I called hay fever!) The process was

" runny, " stuffy, infected....then asthma, pred., and antibiotics, a week of

being miserable and a month of coughing until it finally went away. So--I can

sympathize with you. Hope you do get some relief from something and that the

doctors can find something to give you relief.

Hi Larry - I'm both a patient and a physician and also have a

terrible history of frequent and severe sinus infections by a variety

of usual and unusual bacteria as well as various fungi. And I also

have had multiple extensive sinus surgeries (many years before I went

on Xolair), which certainly got everything wide open so the sinuses

could drain but did not prevent the infections themselves, just made

them easier to treat successfully.

I ended up having a complete immunological workup by an immunologist

at a medical school and was found to have an antibody deficiency

(specifically an IgG subclass deficiency). On Xolair, I can't really

say I've had fewer or less severe sinus infections - what really did

that was dramatically reducing my exposure to germs by leaving my

pediatric practice. The Xolair has produced a significant reduction

in the amount of steroids I need for my asthma.

So, my thoughts about whether Xolair might help you are that if

underlying nasal allergies are a, or maybe the major factor that sets

you up for subsequent infections, then Xolair might make a

difference. But if you have structural problems with your sinuses and

nasal cavity and/or an immune disorder that hasn't yet been

identified, I don't know that you'll see much improvement if those

factors aren't addressed before you start on Xolair.

Actually, Adah, I think the Xolair has helped as far as my asthma is concerned -

I had 945 of those little iggies swimming around in my blood and pulmo doc says,

" yea, verily, thou art a perfect candidate fer this magic elixir Ah knows of,

but I won't believe you if you tell me you're better until you've been on it at

least a year. " On the other hand, the ENT doc says the problem is chronic

sinusitis, not allergies, the otolaryngology specialist at Duke says my sinuses

are royally screwed up and probably always will be, and my infectious disease

control doc keeps pumping me full of antibiotics. My primary care doc tries to

keep me going in spite of it all and works with my gastroenterologist who takes

care of my diverticulitis and my urologist keeps track of my prostatitis. All

of these fun infectious maladies plus a few others sort of come and go. At

least there's never a dull moment, but to make things even more interesting, I

think I'll rent my body to a med school. Who knows, some dude might come up

with a cure.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I suppose I'll have to wait and

see if the Xolair has any affect on my sinus. It seems like the only

thing I haven't tried yet to clear them up is voo doo! After 5 sinus

operations I'm still seeking relief. I live in the Central Valley

are of California and seasonal allergies affect almost everyone I

know.

My doctors always tell me to move away, but with a wife and 4 kids

and a job I have been at for over 11 years, it's not that easy to up

and leave. PLus I just bought a new house a year ago and with the

housing market in the state it is, there is no way I could sell it

for what we paid for it.

Gee, and I thought I had a lot of doctors! I have GERD and tend to be anemic,

so my PCP keeps tabs on my blood--I see him every four months; I see my

allergist every six months, I see my pulmonologist every six months (along with

a CT scan for a spot on one of my lungs--so far, praise God, it hasn't grown

any, not even a speck); and then I have glaucoma, thanks to genes and

prednisone, and see my eye doctor every three months for eye tests of some

sort--some tests are every six months, others are once a year, and then I have

very fair skin and see the dermatologist every six months, every three when she

has to remove a place, and then I see my hair dresser--oops, that's for a lift

in my spirits! Or when my hair needs cutting---Seriously, with the eye drops

and other meds, I sometimes feel like I have a pharmacy--but I feel pretty good

most of the time, thanks to xolair. It is pretty wonderful that most of us can

keep going thanks to the advances in medicine.....

For whatever it's worth, when I was in getting my new supply of cefepime for my

infusions, the tech person mentioned something I'm going to look into in re

infections. It's called Viva Globin

http://www.vivaglobin.com/patient/index.aspx which apparently helps pump up the

immune system. It's covered by Medicare and is self-administered - through the

stomach, from what I gathered from the tech. I plan to look into it.

Hi Terry - the Vivaglobin is an antibody preparation dervied from

human blood which, until this formulation became available, had to be

given intravenously. I was on those monthly for many years due to my

IgG subclass deficiency and frequent severe sinus infections that

I've told y'all about previously. The cost last time I had them was

$5,000 monthly.

Vivaglobin is a formulation that is just injected under the skin,

just like Xolair. I don't know about the cost but it's definitely

worth your looking into. The only thing is I suspect Medicare may

require that you have a proven specific immune deficiency to get it,

although maybe your ID doc can convince them to give you a trial of

it without that, given your history. Good luck and keep us posted!
