Re: 5th anniversary coming up

[Guest guest]

Congratulations, Doug and thank you very much for starting this group. & nbsp; I

know how much it means to those of us who were fearful of starting, but we got

the encouragement we needed, and the cautions, too, and the celebration emails

when we realized that the xolair had begun to work.

& nbsp;

My xolair date is August and I started it in 2006, so it will be two

years. & nbsp;

& nbsp;

No trips to the ER

No prednisone since Jan. 2006

No sinus infections, although this Spring I came very close. & nbsp; But the doc

put me on Zyrtec D and that took care of it--no infection!

Some days I forget I even have asthma!

I'm able to stay outside for longer periods of time without any sneezing, runny

nose, or shortness of breath, although I do cough occasionally.

Overall I am able to do as much or more as before. & nbsp;

No reactions to the shots--not even a red spot or swelling or itching...

I think I mentioned before that the doctor has spread out my shots--every six

weeks, now. & nbsp; I am still doing okay, but I have had to use my neb and

inhaler a little more often. & nbsp;

Here's to better breathing for all of us! & nbsp; I'm thankful for something that

really helps most of us and hope there is a help in the future for those very

few who are not helped by xolair.

In September, I will be on xolair for 5 full years

Also, it will be the 5th birthday of this group.

It is my prayer that everyone will have as good of an experience with

xolair as I have in these past years.

Here are things that highlight my treatment:

1. Never had any problems with insurance approval

2. No problems with Shipping

3. Two shots every 2 weeks since September 2003 and

no reactions during or after.

4. Need for Prednisone decreased about 98%

5. No sign of type II Diabetes since stopping the Prednisone

6. Weight loss of 35 pounds

7. Peak flows staying around 600. (They used to be in the 300's)

8. Have my life back

9. Meeting and becoming friends with so many of you in this group

Happy breathing my friends,

Doug

Group founder

wow...5 years already!! BIG KUDOS!!!

  I am SO grateful that you started this group Doug. AND I am so GLAD you told

us about this at the Xolair conference. Our " little 12 step meeting " for Xolair

Patients. (Hi, My name is Kathe and I've been on Xolair since 2005....) LOL!!  

I know this has helped me out quite a bit.  It is very comforting to know that

there are people out there who understand what I'm going through as an

asthmatic!
