Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 After much wrangling with the insurance company (I have Two) I have been approved for the shots, 375 mg, every two weeks. My blood tests were over 1,000. My Dr says I have a rare form of asthma that you develop if you are over 45 and have had a lung infection. He says only 5 % of the asthma population has it. I start my shots tomorrow and am hopeful they will work, Predizone is tearing me apart. I do not know what to expect, I have an emergency call in to my Dr because they just called and said they were sending a nurse to my house to teach me how to give myself the shots. I do not know if this is acceptable or safe, I'm waiting for a call back. If the shots do not work the Dr says he has a form of chemotherapy that works for asthma. All of my asthma has been within the last two years, it is really bad now. Heres hoping, just wished I knew what to expect tomorrow.
