Was Re: Xolair and cat allergies Now Cold

[Guest guest]

I know Xolair works witht he allergy response system.  I wonder if you have

noticed a change with the cold air as well.  I've had 2 rounds of injections and

moved my breathing from 350 to 550 in one month.  The cold air (I live in south

central Alaska) does continue to bother me.  It triggers spasms.  I am hoping

that as the lungs mend a bit, maybe I will tolerate the cold better.

 

Also related to Alaska:  I have a volcano about 45 air miles away that is trying

to erupt.  We expect a lot of ash, but not much else.  My doctor has provided

steroids and a mask to use.  It should be interesting to see how the local

asthmatics respond.

I have severe cat allergies. We live far out in a rural area in the

woods and last night about 11pm we found a kitten outside on our

woodpile in the snow, it was below zero and the kitten had chunks of

ice in its fur and was freezing. We took it in for the night and will

bring to rescue today. My asthma has been bad in this cold weather but

I'm shocked that I'm doing ok with the kitty!
