Hope I am able to get my Xolair shots this Friday

[Guest guest]

I am having my gallbladder removed on Wednesday. They are going to do

it lapriscopically as a same day outpatient. No big deal. I've had

other operations MUCH MORE serious!

I hope I will be able to drive the 11 miles to my allergist by Friday

to get my Xloair shots. My asthma is doing INCREDIBLY well during

all this allergy season. I am have been COMPLETELY off the

Prednisone for over a month and have cut my Advair 500/50 and

Pulmicort in half.

I only find myself having to nebulize or use my combivent inhailer

only once or twice a day. My asthma hasn't been this under this much

control in YEARS! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Before the Xolair, I had to nebulize 4-6 times a day with pulmicort,

albuterol (or xopenex) and atrovent, was taking 50 mg of Prednisone

and Advair 500/50 twice daily. What a daily regimin. WHEW!

I hope that the longer I am on the Xolair, the better I will get.

October will mark one year I have been on it. I am hoping for and

anxiously awaiting a day when all I will need is Xolair shots every

other week so I can throw away the other medications )

Hi Doug,

I hope your operation goes smoothly. I am glad that you are doing

better.

My Xolair seems to be working on my allegies, but the tightness in

the chest is still there. Do you still feel this, or was this cured

over time?

Ash,

Thanks

It took me 6 months to feel the effects of my shots. It is different

for everyone. Some have felt relief after only a shot or two. My

doctor says that some people might take up to a year to feel any

relief. Give it time, you will get better Ask you doctor. He/she

knows all the in's and out's
