Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hello Everyone, Glad to find this group, and thanks so much to you moderators and contributors. I'll tell my whole story soon, but for now let me say my allergist wants to begin Xolair treatments for my Asthma/COPD/Allergies. I'm weaning myself off albuterol after 20 years so I can have the skin test first. I was intubated twice this summer for seven days(my first hospital visit ever for breathing difficulties)and reticent to begin xolair until I am convinced I need it. I'm on Advair 500/50- 2x, Spiriva 18mcg., Singulair 10mg,Albuterol as needed. Today I hiked to 7,000 feet with no albuterol. My IgE was in the 300's when hospitalized and recently was in the mid 100's. My peak flows are in the 200's up from a low of 50. I've weaned myself off prednisone and my numbers improved. I'm going to read the old posts and catch up. I was an EMT in Mountain Rescues and managed a large medical practice in the past so I have some knowledge to contribute. Thanks all, __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
