Xolair delivered yesterday

[Guest guest]

I got my first home delivery of Xolair yesterday, complete with

syringes, large and small needles, and sterile water. It came FedEx

in an insulated foil pouch with a small freezer pack in it to keep

it cold.

I felt like I was opening a box of gold. Of course, gold would

probably have cost less

I plan to do the injection on Sunday, just to allow myself plenty of

time to do it. My five-year-old son, whom I usually let do my

allergy injections, is very intrigued, but I think I'll go solo on

this one.

It's funny - I have been giving myself allergy shots for years. I

gave shots to my wife for fertility, and had to mix the stuff much

like Xolair has to be mixed. However, this time I am feeling

nervous, unlike any time before.

We are expecting 10 - 15 " of snow between today and tomorrow. I

haven't had my normal asthma problems while shoveling my driveway

since I have been on Xolair. This will be a good test.

Clear breathing
