Re: Doing Great with Xolair

[Guest guest]

Actually, Xolair DOES help allergies - the same mechanism that

prevents allergic asthma prevents a number of allergic responses, any

that are IgE mediated anyway. IgG mediated responses (like food

allergies) and chemical sensitivities will not improve with Xolair.

My severe allergic rhinitis/sinus disease is much improved thanks to

Xolair.

that's awesome that xolair is helping you so much! isn't it nice to do

" normal " things and not have to think right away " where's my inhaler? " . its like

getting your life back!

just a sidenote -- xolair definately helps allergies. i'm super super super

sensitive to horses, and after 3 years of xolair, i can't be around them

still.....but i've got a one year old black lab puppy and he doesn't cause me

any problems (and i always tested very sensitive to dogs).

glad to hear you're doing so well! thanks for sharing your story!

why I was constantly getting sinus infections. Any way after nearly a

year on Xolair I feel great. My asthma and allergies are so much

better. Today we cleaned out the garage. Spent 6 hours in the dust and

dirt and dead bugs and never once had to use my inhaler. It was a small

miracle. I was amazed. Last week we worked in the yard raking leaves

and I was around dried pine needles. Something I have always had

problems being around. They really make me wheeze. I didn't have one

problem. I guess I will have to really test it and see how I do around

cats and horses! I know the Xolair doesn't help allergies. Maybe I am

growing out of them after some 40 years! But it sure has changed my

life with not having to deal with Asthma.
