Re: I can't get my shots today

[Guest guest]

Well hope you feel better! I have only been getting xolair since April, but

have wondered what criteria would I need to cancel my shots. Luckily never been

sick on those days.

In fact, I can't even drive to the doctors office. I have a nasty chest/sinus

infection and am running fever. Since starting xolair in 2003 I rarely ever have

any URI's

This is NOT effecting my asthma one bit. I don't even have to neb twice a day

like I usually do.

I have re scheduled for Monday afternoon. My PCP has called me in a Z Pack.

Going back to bed...............

If I am sick with a fever or having a bad asthma attack my doctor won't let me

have my xolair. I don't really blame him.

So sorry, Doug.  I can certainly sympathize with you.  Get well quick!

Hope you're feeling better soon, Doug.

I haven't had any Xolair since December 21. Usually, I get three shots every two

weeks. There's a reorganization going on at my insurance company and they

screwed up the renewal on my pre-approval. A very rude nurse at my doctors

office (I don't know who she was, everyone is usually so nice there.) tried to

tell me that I should have months of coverage from the shots I've already had.

I know from past experience, that I can go 17 days between shots before I start

to go downhill fast. I feel horrible! I can't breathe well enough to have a five

minute conversation. If I get up to do anything, the pain in my chest is so bad.

It hurts just sitting here. I'm coughing and wheezing like crazy. Believe it or

not, I was worse last week. My husband bought me some homeopathic pills made

from arsenic and they've helped a little. I feel less like a damp dishrag, so

that's good.

This couldn't have come at a worse time. I'm supposed to be out picking out

lighting and appliances for the bubble my husband is building me. But I can

barely go to the kitchen, there's no way I can go to the store. Kind of ironic,

huh? I could use that bubble to live in more than ever and I can't help get it

ready. At least I have shots scheduled next week. Fingers crossed!

, I am so sorry, you sound just miserable. Goodness, were you this bad

all the time before you started Xolair? A clean room is a good thing, I have

one and it seems to help. Check out good air purifiers, that also helps to keep

one area really clean. Hope you get your shot real soon! Marilyn

Thanks, Marilyn. I was pretty sick before I started Xolair. I would be dead now

without it. Things will be better when I get my bubble and my shots. They're

scheduled for Tuesday. (The shots, that is. The bubble won't be ready for about

a month.) Until then, I'm going to take it easy and try not to stress myself

physically or emotionally.

I do need a new air purifier. Does anyone have a good recommendation? I saw one

that used water as a filter. That sounds like a great concept...plus no filters

to replace, just dump out the water. Has anyone tried one of those?

Breathe well,
