Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Joyce, glad to hear you think Xolair is helping and that you are being really aggressive about figuring out the Headache thing...elimination diet sounds like a good idea. Doug, congrats on the great peak flows and being OFF pred! We've had a GREAT DEAL of pollen here. Well, Friday night / Saturday morning, a great deal of rain rolled in. It rained all through Saturday. Late afternoon my sinuses imploded. I responded with Rescon MX (tons of sudafed in that plus some other stuff) and 40mg pred. I literally did nothing but blow my nose from 9pm until almost 4am. Well, despite all that blowing I still didn't keep it all out of my chest. The proverbial elephant is back. I may not need antibiotics, I don't know. You know how pred can mask infection. At any rate, my head is almost completely clear. I just nebbed some albuterol and I'm going to up the Advair to 500. I took 30mg pred this morning. If things go well, 30mg tomorrow and then step down to 20 for 2 days and then 10....Still, I'm disappointed. I had 4 pretty good months. On the other hand, if I only have 3 bad episodes a year (ie., one every 4 months), I certainly would not be in any position to complain. Of course, I won't get any sleep tonight either, between the pred and the albuterol. Oh, well. I hope the rest of you are doing well, Addy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
