Guest guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 HI All, I was feeling great after my abd wall cyst removal...then Friday night I started feeling icky again, achy and low grade fevers...my drainage tube looked clogged to me... tried to get it to clear ..but some (very minute) was coming thru. Well, I had done some moving around from 10-3 on FRiday and thought maybe I over did it.....anyway felt lousy off and on on Sat...went back on vicodin for pain...finally called surgeon this am (Sun) and told him I thought the drain was clogged ...as the drainage wasnt even a 1/2 tsp/12 hours...and I knew I wasnt feeling right....he said the pocket left from removal wasnt very big and maybe it was done draining...but not to worry as he was probably pulling drain tomorrow...and if I felt bad in morning he would send me for a CT scan on MOn b4 I see him....Well, I get off the phone, ready to take a shower, and suddenly my drain line had moved ....it had a huge clog ...and has had since Fri....now it's draining again.........I'm leaving the mess in the holder (for the surgeon)...it was huge,,(sorry if I am grossing you out here)but damn....I was all achy again....now I am fine ...really weird huh? Well I hope now it continues to empty out and finish......other than that I had been feeling really well......hope you all are ok.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hi, everyone. So glad to hear those of you who are just starting Xolair seem to be doing well with it. I am still having a rough time. After 9+ upper resp infections last year (why keep counting after 9), I had not had any antibiotics since the end of December 2003, thank you Xolair, and very little pred after the grasses started to pollenate in February (that first week of grass is always a bad time for me). Since the end of October I have had three different antibiotics and plenty of pred. That said, my sinus symptoms are not nearly as severe as with my episodes last year. I still hardly ever get allergy or sinus headaches, and I attribute that completely to Xolair. (Before I had severe headaches 5 days out of 7 on average.) The problem is I can't get my lungs to cooperate. I can't seem to ween them off pred. Now I have this terrible cough. I had some tussonex called in last night along with more pred and I see the pulmo tomorrow. Doug, I am going to ask about Xopenex b/c I do think I need to be using the neb more, but I just can't take the side effects. Between the pred, the albuterol, and the narcotic in the cough syrup and the coughing (tussonex only helped, it didn't stop it altogether) I literally was up all night. Too many meds I guess to get any real rest. I have to work today and tomorrow, so I have been drinking coffee all day. (I know, I know). I hope the rest of you are doing well. Thanks for all the good wishes! Addy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
