I have been on Xolair since October 2003 and have had no problems at

all. I get two shots every two weeks. I get the shots, wait an hour

(which is really not needed but my doctor insists...sigh) and go

home. Not a pain, not a red spot where they gave them to me, no

reactions of any kind. It is a real pleasure to get them knowing they

are helping so much with my asthma

My wife and I have a very best friend who is a yoga instructor. Here

is his web site: http://www.guyyoga.com/

Don't do yoga but am not surprised that the exercise helps.

I have been doing a program that is based on a combination of

strength, balance, flexibility, and aerobic capacity, and have

noticed a lot of difference. Unfortunately, even with practice I

cannot get my 41 year-old body to move in the same ways that I did

when I was 15 and pre-asthma <sigh>.

The humidity, which normally throws me into a tailspin, has not

bothered me too much this year. Even though I have recently cut

back to 10 mg of pred every other day, and have cut back to Advair

250 twice daily (from 500), unless I am working in the yard I don't

have too much trouble, and even then I can control it pretty well.

This is a very positive indicator.

Good luck and clear breathing
