Re: Favor/question for everyone

The motivation for me is very simple. Xolair will help

me achieve my end goal which is to get off prednisone,

which I have been on non-stop since June 2003.

As for achieving my goal, my pulmo and I have been

talking about xolair way before it even got FDA

approval in June 2003. As I am Canadian, I had to wait

until Health Canada made a decision, which it did on

Nov. 18, 2004. I found out on my birthday, Feb 11,

2005. I simply cried tears of relief. I had my first

shot April 22, 2005.

I have a magnet on my fridge with a quote from

Thoreau. It is in the form of a bulls-eye and it reads

" In the end, we only hit what we aim at. " Faith and

hope in the future are what keep me going through the

rough spots. The changes I have already experienced

with Xolair now show me that my goal is attainable in

baby steps.

ps Case in point, I am now taking 11 mg a day of

prednisone. This is the lowest dose I have ever been

on since November 2003. See Mom, it's

working!!!!!!!!!!

pps I must add, the support and information obtained

from this group are invaluable.
