Re: Anyone ever exerperience the return of severe asthma and itchiness?

[Guest guest]

I have about 2 bad episodes a year, even with the Xolair. Usually during fall

rainy season and then again late Feb/early March with the spring pollen here.

Leigh, has it been raining a lot where you are? Are you using febreeze or

anything new? (I know, you're not, but I gotta ask.)

I hope you figure out what it is and feel better soon.

We got an over abundance of rain here in May and June. Now it's hot, humid and

they have a burn and watering ban. My asthma? It's the same all year.

Every place we have moved the locals say " ohhh this is the worst place for

asthma and allergies. " I guess no place is good for us.
