xolair response fluctuation

[Guest guest]

my husband got his 3rd xolair shots july 6th. he had no response after the 1st

shots, a small good response after the 2nd shots. after the 3rd shots, he seems

to be backsliding. i know most people have posted that their improvement has

been very gradual. we were expecting slow improvement & are disappointed at

this backslide this month. he got a total of 10 solu medrol injections in may

after the 1st xolair shots. after the 2nd xolair shots in june, he only needed a

total of 2 solu medrol injections (on the 26th & 27th days after the 2nd xolair

shots). so far this month he has gotten 4 solu medrol injections and we have

over a week left of july.

he told the pulmonologist that he has been coughing phlegm this month & asked if

he had an infection. she said no because the phlegm isn't greenish or

yellowish. 4 days later at urgent care, the dr said the pulmonologist is wrong,

that according to recent studies, sputum color is not always that significant &

that he does have an infection. he put him on an oral antibiotic augmentine.

it seems to be helping the cough/phlegm.

we have air filters that are also ionizers, do any of you react negatively to

ionized air? we have had these filters for months, my husband doesn't think

they are causing a problem.

my husband also has a neurological disorder (pls) in the family of als that

affects his ability to speak & swallow. it may also be affecting his chest

muscles and his ability to breath & be causing some aspiration issues. his

shortness of breath always responds to corticosteroids, the neurologists all say

his pls is not autoimmune & will not respond to corticosteroids. the

pulmonologist says she thinks something more than just asthma is at play. very

frustrating!! my husband believes it is just asthma as he has had asthma his

whole life & it feels like asthma.
