Re: 2nd xolair

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Just wanted to comment on what you had posted here about your xolair. As you

continue to get your xolair shots you wont be as tired. I know when my son was

first getting his shots he was the same way. If your on steroids as well you

will become tired.

you will see a difference once you keep getting the shots..

give it some time... dont give up... keep the faith.. it will work you just

have to give it some time...

Lin~~~pittsburgh... have a very blessed day without asthma

So this morning I received my 2nd Xolair shot (I get 2 shots - 1 time

per month). The nurse was mixing the two bottles and when she went to

put them in the syringe she noticed that bottle #2 never fully mixed

and after some more trying they coundn't get it to mix -- so I had to

wait for them to mix an additional bottle. That has got to be an

expensive return to the pharmacy.....

No red bumps, just a wee bit of soreness... a little achy in my upper

arms. Had to use my albuterol puffer inhaler while there though....

Just a little SOB and the coughing seemed to be disturbing the other

patients.

I has also been the person asking about molds/fungus and

Xolair/asthma. I am awaiting WAY too many tests to come back and the

asthma dr wants to run another set of bloodwork on Monday, once I get

off prednisone again. In the past week my asthma decided to have a

mind of it's own and throw a party in my body.... And this was just

as I was feeling like things were getting under control... Now I just

have no energy and I getting rather tired of... as long as I sit at

home, don't talk, and rest things are manageable but as soon as I

attempt to live my life (aka Taxi service to my kids...) everything

goes haywire. Now they want to run tests on my adrenal glands (seems

my body likes the prednisone) and EOS #'s -- it's gotten to be a joke

that my body becomes adjusted to whatever antihistimine they put me on

with a few weeks.... and then I break out in hives again. I think

they are playing the check the auto-immune system game without

worrying the patient. The asthma as a symptom of a greater problem is

something I could do without.

And email me offline but I was wondering what is the case when my

asthma actually gets worse in the late afternoons/early evenings. I

know a lot of you have the worst in the morning.... Is this a clue I

am missing here? Without my second dose of Advair at 3pm I can hardly

make it through the evening. Maybe I am just most tired by then....
