Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well, I finally had my first Xolair dose yesterday, divided into two injections. The first injection, for some reason, was ridiculously painful. I've never had an injection that hurt so much. Luckily, the second one was fine. I had some mildly strange feelings after the shot: I felt very cold, slightly lightheaded, and a couple of hours later, my skin itched and burned. I am prone to severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions so I took a lot of extra antihistamines just in case (and hung out at my doctor's office for two hours) but I ended up being okay. Today my sinuses hurt. Otherwise, I feel fine. I am very hopeful that this will help me. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to try it. I've been very encouraged by hearing about everyone else's experiences. Best, Meryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
