'nother update, and shots at home

[Guest guest]

Now I am convinced that xolair is making a difference. I went

through what is usually one of the worst weeks of the year for me

(the yellow pollen showers I described in an earlier post) with few

symptoms, wheezing *or* sneezing, with very little advair (I think I

made it for FIVE days!). But in the last four or five days, that's

all changed; I'm using xolair almost daily and still wheezing. I

sneeze in the mornings (even though I take zyrtec at night). The

only explanation I can come up with is xolair.

I'm now taking muscle relaxers and doing a small elimination diet to

see if we can make a dent in The Headache, and I think something is

helping. Don't know what, yet, but at least my head doesn't hurt all

the time. But I am finding myself obsessing about coffee. :-(

So, I'm going back for another shot in eleven days. My nurse told me

that eventually I would be giving myself the shots at home, if I

continue on the drug. Even though I made a nasty face, she assured

me that it's not as bad as it sounds. <g>
