Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I'm glad to see that some people w/really high IgEs are still able to get Xolair. I'm sweating it because I have a high weight (a bit over 200 lbs.) and nearly 370 IgE. This is really crazy because the years of cortizone to keep me breathing contributed to the weight gain and blood sugar zig-zags. It's hard to exercise much because my chest does " instant tight " on me (it seems like)with much movement. This is absurd!!! The treatment for the disease (a sham as far as I'm concerned because the old treatments were right up there w/blood-letting with all the side effects) caused the very problems that I'm afraid will stop me from getting treatment. I'm wondering if I need to start showing up at the hospital more rather than toughing it out at home. Albuterol doesn't help that much any more w/emergencies and I have them every day. Sinus scans show chronic inflammation and infection. Sheesh, I wish I could find out something ... my patience is at an all- time low right now! My heart is enlarged and other minor heart problems - I think it's from asthma treatments as well as the disease itself. Get thee out of here, oh, asthma!
