my Xolair update

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone -

I wanted to update my personal experience w/ Xolair.

So far, I have had two xolair injections (over the last 2 months). I

am also still on weekly allergy shots/immunotherapy.

I think it is starting to " kick in " , but I developed a couple of

upper respiratory infections in the meantime. This probably would

have taken place anyway -Xolair or no Xolair. (I have a first grader

who brings friends with all sorts of colds and coughs!)

I must mention, that these upper respiratory infections are giving me

less grief than in the past which in my opinion, may be due to the

Xolair. I find that I am wheezing less although the wheezes and

tightness and congestion are not totally gone. My sinuses still drip

and continue to cause me trouble, however. That is probably worse

due to my own negligence. (I've been forgetting to use my saline

nasal sprays and my nasal steroid sprays. I am overwhelmed with a

short course of antibiotics, the constant oral

steroids,allergy/asthma medicines and now, glucophage because of that

rotten oral steroid. My blood sugars are not where they should be.

It seems like i have to take one pill to stop the bad effects of

another pill for another problem. That is another long sad story of

mine. )

I want to emphasize this is my experience only. Apologies for my

long message - I thought it might be interesting!

Hope this finds everyone in excellent health.

GM
