Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hi, I get a little lightheaded right after I have my Xolair shot, but it goes away in an hour or two, and I have had no other side effects. I have had 2 shots and I felt some improvement after my 2nd shot that lasted for about a week, it has worn off now and I am really ready for my next shot this Fri. My Dr also had me cut the prednisone to 40 mg when I had my last shot and I still felt better, so I think it must have been the Xoliar. I hope it's not just wishful thinking that it seems to be having some effect so quick.- Addy, Hope you are feeling better by now, it sounds like you are having a real rough time. Hope is better too. -- In , " pastalady99 " <cemaglio@e...> wrote: > > > I've receive two Xolair shots and am scheduled for my third next > Monday. > > Since getting the shots, I've noticed some light-headedness, > especially when I get into bed, the room spins for a few > seconds, and sometimes when I turn over.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 i don't get any side effects, other than the normal tenderness at the injection site. even the amount of bruising i had at the injection site has decreased, although i imagine that has to do with decreasing my inhaled steroids as much as we have!!
