Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I had my xolair shots today and since posts about bruising have appeared again, I looked at my injection sites about 10 minutes after getting them. I couldn't tell that anything had poked me at all. No pain, no redness, no bruising. Nuttin! I have never had this problem in the 4.5 years I have been on xolair. Now, REGULAR allergy shots are a different story. ALWAYS redness, slight pain and some swelling. No bruising though.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 i bruise with almost any injection - always have, at least, for some time now. i think its from the ICS (i was on advair, now i'm on symbacort). if i increase my ICS, i bruise easier. as for bleeding, every now and again i must hit a varicose vein (there's so many to choose from) on my leg and i bleed...somehow, that always catches me off gaurd! the vein problem has nothing to do with xolair, but genetics (thanks mom!) > > > I did with Prednisone.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I don't get bruising from the shots, but if I get a bump (and recently a big fall), I get way more bruising than I used to get. I am not on pred, only Xolair and Clarinex. I definitely won't stop the shots, but just wondered. carol --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Glad to hear I'm not the only one who is always freezing. Winters in NY are a nightmare for me. I suffer from Reactive Arthritis. My dr. has said that feeling cold is not a symptom of ReA, but I'm convinced that each person's body works differently, and responds to illness differently.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I moved to Puerto Rico! My docs told me to go where it is warm. I am glad I took their advaice. My best to you.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Mona get your FERRITIN level checked. NOT CBC (complete blood count) not red blood cells. Ask for FERRITIN level and don't take " oh it's in your blood count " for an answer. If you are in a low area of normal start Iron. Do not do the iron on your own without a test. You may have enough and it may be a thyroid problem. Also ask for specifically a T3 and T4 thyroid test. Most times all they test for is T3 and say its negative. Good luck.
