asthma flareup and due for first shot tomorrow

[Guest guest]

Hello, I've been following and reading all the posts for weeks now. I am

supposed to take my first xolair shot tomorrow. Wouldn't you know it, I have

been struggling the past 4 days and cannot seem to get my asthma under control.

Since I have never had a shot I am concerned about taking it when my peak flow

is in the low range (300-310. I have been taking xopenix 2-3 x day, plus

Symbicort 160, plus several doses of QVAR. No getting better, so am going to

the doctor tomorrow for one of their special breathing treatments. My appt. is

about an hour and half after that treatment, so - don't know whether to call and

cancel(hospital out-patient) and wait for a better week, or just take my

breathing treatment and go. If you have a bad reaction to xolair, will I be in

more danger because I was marginal to begin with?? Thank you, Marilyn
