Re: Re: Ouch.. Swelling and sore??

[Guest guest]

If I were you, then the next time you receive your Xolair shots, I would

wait in the doctor's office for a minimum of an hour if it's convenient for

you. Better safe than sorry. Just to have them look it over. You never

know, you could be having a similar reaction as Karin, and maybe having a

latex reaction, or a reaction to the cap?

At any rate, definitely let the doctor know and possibly increase your wait

time. If you can't increase your wait time, then see if you can't make your

Xolair appointment earlier in the day, and then go back later on when you

think the reaction is at it's peak so the doctor can get a really good look

at the injection site.

Best of luck, please keep us informed!

Thanks for the replies. I did not test for chinese hamster I don't

think. Also it's been 24 hours since my shot and it's just a local

reaction I don't think going to the ER is necessary but I will try to

call the doctors office on Monday. Although by then the reaction

should be gone I hope.

I do worry bout it because I had an anaphylactic reaction to my

allergy shots, while i know the chances are sooo much slimmer with

Xolair than with those it still worries me. I did ask the nurse when

she gave it to me if it was normal and she said she assumes so even

though she's never seen it happen before.

I do wait 30 mins after each shot and all so theyre careful but I'm

one of those people who have delayed reactions. The swelling and all

usually doesn't show for atleast an hour or so.

Some people hang around for an hour or so at the doctor's office.
