info and response to Xolair

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My name is Sr. and I am an asthmatic and my Pulmonary doctor has

been as frustrated about the asthma therapy I have been on I am also

on who is allergic to molds, dust and many other environmental and

food. I have been now on Xolair for about three to four months. I

have decreased in my dose of oral predisone to 5mgs every other day I

have been on different doses of predisone since February of 1999. I

am looking forward to getting off of it. I have been in some of the

environments that would throw me into an asthma attack but it didn't.

I was very excited. I have been breathing better and have not been

wheezing as much. The Xolair has been really good for me. I have

been taken off some of my asthma medications and am looking forward

to getting off more of them. I have some people that I live with

that do not believe that I have a problem with asthma even when I am

in a full blown attack. They keep blaming it on my bed room, but

won't give me another space for some of my things. I am supposed to

throw them away or give them away. But I at this point can't do that

because I would like to go back into teaching. I also, am a

substitute school bus driver. All for now.

Sr.
