No side effects, Sheila? Are you on any other medications? I'm afraid

the others I'm on might react with Xolair. I'm just trying to be informed as

much as I can before friday.

Thanks so very much for your help!!!

You are most welcome When I got my first shots in September of 2003

there was NO place on the internet to turn to get advice so I created this

group.

I was the first patient in my state to get xolair and yes, I was a little

apprehensive but I knew I had no other choice.

40 mg a day of prednisone for years had wrecked my body and I needed to

get off of it badly. Xolair was finally my chance.

Now, 7.5 years later I am no longer on any steroids and use a rescue

inhaler once or twice a day.

Xolair has been a miracle drug for me and many in this group.

Keep us informed

Doug
