Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 YEAH!! glad you're feeling better and xolair helped out!! =o) > > Hello all, > > About a week and a half ago I was diagnosed with an acute case of bronchitis. It got pretty complicated (my peak flow was barely reaching 200) so I finally 'let' my doctor put me on Prednisone. I was on 4 years of it straight from July 2005-July of this year but my dose was not high for years. Well, I now remember why I dislike Prednisone so much. I have become a neurotic, impatient, constantly snacking, insomniac. I am so glad my doctor only has me on a 13-day course this time, he says my Xolair injections will help keep the asthma inflammation under control so this whole thing can clear it self up quicker. I forgot what being on high doses of Pred felt like because Xolair has reduced my need for it. This experience has certainly made me grateful for that magic hampster egg juice! > > Just thought I'd share! > Meagan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
