Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 This is me! All my life people thought I was drinking, doing dope, sleeping, playing to hard, etc. My wife uses my eyes as a barometer, " your raccoon eyes are worse, what hurts " . My Drs. have all told me it is " my cross to bare " but it is interesting that your Dr thinks Xolair might help. I have only had three shots (take them every two weeks) and have not noticed a difference. I will keep you advised, funny, I've gotten so used to " raccoon eyes " that this post took me by surprise.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 i have them too - i think xolair has helped that a little, but i can't seem to tell if its the xolair or if the people around me have adjusted to my racoon eyes. my eyes definately get worse when the weather gets funky or my sinuses kick in (i'm told it could be bruising also from the sinus pressure...i guess that makes sense). i have no ideas on how to get rid of them, but at least your not alone! heather Carpenter <cowtrail@...> wrote: This is me!
