Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I just wanted the group to know my status so far. I have been taking xolair since last November. It did not work for the first 6 months, and I was losing heart. Then I followed Doug's advice and stayed on it. The funny thing is that I did not even notice in the last 6 weeks I have not taken any prednizone. I used to get chest tightness, and pains before. These symptoms have almost disappeared in the last 4 weeks. My wheezing went up 2 weeks ago and my doctor recommended my taking serovent, and I am under control again. As doug has said before, it is not a miracle drug and it may not work quickly. Just wanted to say thanks to Doug and Addy, because if it was not for you guys, I would have lost heart months ago. I am not saying I am cured, but I am 100% better as compared to this time last year. The one embarrasing question I have to ask is, how do you lose weight? One of the marvelous side effects of taking prednizone. I put on some weight due to predizone over the years, and cannot shake it off, even though I have come of it. Has anyone felt the same way?
