[Guest guest]

Started xolair two days ago. Boy I really hope this works for me.

Thanks to this wonderful group. I have been very sick and on many

meds, prednisone, and everything else, trying to get better. My IGE

is very very High. Was diagnosed with Asthma 10 years ago, Drs

telling me my asthma is set off by an asperin alergy. I don't take

asperin. I really can't figure it all out. Tired of being tired. I

have the tightness and wheezing caused by asthma I believe. I am very

short of breath. Very very short of breath. Can't do much like walk a

flight of stairs, or sometimes just turning over in bed. Does anyone

know if this is a symptom of asthma too? shortness of breath. Just my

asthma getting worse?

Other lungs diseases have been ruled out.

I had a heart attack a couple of years ago. I don't have high blood

pressure, or colestrol, They say it was caused by stress. If you

can't breath that is also added stress I would think If someone is

straining to breath all the time wouldn't you think that could cause a

heart attack.

Anyway I am very happy that I found this group. Thank you all for

letting me get some of this out. I too, try to hide my asthma because

of embarressment of coughing and not being able to breath. It seems

that people that don't experience it, don't really understand.

Thank You

I prey that I will be able to take walks and have more activity in my

life as I did before. In 10 years it has just gotten worse and worse.

I have read many stories and I hope I am one of the ones that will see

an improvement in my breathing.
