Guest guest Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Hi everybody, I had my second Xolair shot yesterday. I have them every 2 weeks. Just wondering if how high your IgE count was before you started Xoliar has anything to do with how long it takes for you to see any effects? Does anyone know? Might be interesting to compare beginning IgE counts and how long before any improvement was noticed. Mine was 1247. I haven't really noticed any difference yet, except maybe my nose isn't so stuffy all the time. I did feel better for a few days after I recieved the 1st shot, but don't know if that was from the Pred dose being upped or Xoliar. My Dr lowered the Pred dose from 60mg to 40mg this time, to see how that goes, and if OK when I go in 2 weeks for my next shot, she'll lower it again. So I guess if I can get off the Pred that will be an improvement seen from the Xolair, because I haven't been able to get off it otherwise. Put on 4 lbs in the last 2 weeks, and I'm really watching what I eat too. I've put on 20 lbs since this started in August, and what is really so fustrating is that I eat a low fat, low calorie, no sugar , no treats, no good stuff diet to try to keep the weight down. If I don't get off the pred soon I'm going to be a great naturally padded Santa for Christmas. Ah Well!! Addy, I think our heat bothered me when we first turned it on too. We put in new allergy filters and that seemed to help. Hope it does for you. Hope everyone that's been under the weather gets feeling better soon! Have a great weekend and a happy Thanksgiving!
