Re: Will Xolair (or others) ever help allergy sufferers? - kathy

[Guest guest]

hi kathy

i too have many sinus issues. i'm just curious what meds are you on for your

sinuses? (if you don't mind me asking). i take astelin, nasacort and biaxin

(500 mg daily). the biaxin, in long term use, is used as an anti-inflammatory.

the rest of my meds are asthma/allergy meds (advair, flovent, bromfed,

singulair, uniphyll, pepcid). i'm just wondering if we're missing something.

we're trying to get a handle on these blasted sinuses, but it just seems they

are constantly outo f control. my allergy/asthma dr wants to send me to another

ENT (this will be #3) to see if he can find the missing link. i'm getting tired

of ENT shopping!

unfortunately, xolair made no noticible difference with my sinuses, leading us

to believe its either a structural problem (i've already had sinus surgery

twice) or some kind of cootie i'm constantly exposed to. on the brighter side,

xolair has tremendously helped my asthma!! YEAH!!

(sinus) I am much better since being on Xolair. I take four medicines for sinus

allergies alone. All my doctors say the improvement is due to the Xolair,

except my otolaringologist (I think that's how it's spelt)

Everybody has barriers and obstacles. If you look at them as containing fences

that don't allow you to advance, then you're going to be a failure. If you look

at them as hurdles that strengthen you each time you go over one, then you're

going to be a success.

Dear :

I'm on Prednisone 2.5mg (down from 5), Alegra 2xady, flonase, for sinuses.

Asthma Qvar80 2xad, serevent2xady, theophylline 2xady, and for other things

Lipitor, Aciphex, Lotrel, Zoloft, Actonel and Xolair.

My sinuses have improved not a lot but, they have improved. Let's see what

winter brings.

I have a lot of issues with summer all the tress and grasses, so I'll wait and

see.
