xolair injection sites

[Guest guest]

i asked my dr if we could change the injection site on my next

dose to my stomach. we usually use any combination of legs/arms to

make up the three injections. i hate to sound petty and whatnot, but

i'm going to a wedding after my next injection, and my dress is

sleeveless, and i'd much rather NOT have that lovely bruise on my

arm that i get after each injection. (bruise is usually larger than

a quarter and lasts about 10 days)

she didn't see a problem in it, but she wants to " double check " and

just make sure that a stomach injection is okay with the xolair. i

remember seeing it somewhere that it was ok, but we looked through

the prescribing info and didn't see anything. does anyone know where

i can get written, documented info on the injection sites. (its

frustrating, she's usually very aggressive, but i guess since i'm

her only xolair patient, she takes no chances)

a little update -- i'm down to advair 500 as my only steroid - not

even extra flovent - none for three months. i have a sinus

infection -- and for the first time ever, it didn't go into

bronchitus. i'm not sure if its due to the xolair, or what, but i'll

take it. (i also dropped a lotta weight, about 25 pounds, since last

winter) i even went today and signed up for the gym! WHOOOHOOO

hope everyone is feeling well
