asthma flare up and first xolair shot

[Guest guest]

Thank you Meagin, Doug, Tricia and Addy, How kind of all of you to reply so

quickly.Your support is priceless.

I think I will just get it. I do have a nebulizer at home, but the

xopenix just isn't cutting it. Dr.'s office adds pulmicort and one other thing

called an excellerant (geez, that can't be spelled right),and this works very

well. I hopeful, excited and scared. Will let you know how it goes, thanks

again. Marilyn

Good luck! My blood pressure is always high right before I get my injections.

Doesn't matter how many times I've been or how relaxed I am. I still am nervous,

who knows. It goes down each check after that.

At my last appointment, I " flunked " my breathing tests and then they gave me my

Xolair, as scheduled. I think if we had to have great peak flows before getting

Xolair nobody would ever get to be on it. After all, it is for those of us with

the hard to control asthma.

Breathe easy, hun.

Tricia, you were 100% right, I looked up to see what my blood pressure was and

oh my gosh, it was SO high. I wasn't just nervous, I was super nervous. But it

came and went, and hopefully in a few months, I will get over it. Thanks,

Marilyn

, You are right on about the good peak flow readings! I did go get a

breathing test and was I wired when I got to the hospital. I was surprised that

they only wanted me to stay 30 minutes after my first injection. I asked if I

could stay an hour, as I kinda remembered reading some posts here about how long

you should stay on your first shot. Actually thought it should be two hours,

but they were ready to close up when I left. Took from 1:45 to 4:45. Just feel

really tired. Long day, glad it went well. Thank you, Marilyn

I'm happy that it went well! I was always really tired after my shots at first.

That did go away after awhile. I don't know if it was from the Xolair itself or

from my own excitement level. I'd rather be tired than out of breath, so I don't

really care. haha

Breathe well, my friend.

, Funny how most folks don't even think of going outside and walking

around when the wind is blowing. It is a curse to have this disease, and I will

be so happy to be able to kinda live like a normal person. Later last night I

went from tired to hyper, blood pressure went up way higher than normal. Wonder

if it was that high powered breathing treatment I took. I am more worried about

having a reaction that keeps me from getting these shots than anything else

right now. All this support from everyone has made me feel very welcome, like a

part of the " group " . Thank you, Marilyn
