Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I noticed others were wondering if severe allergies were in any way related to autoimmune disorders such as hashimotos. Various doctors have told me that the three " A's " - asthma, allergies, arthritis - and I have them all - are all interrelated although they didn't tell me how. There seemed to be some self righteousness in their delivery of the statement. There seemed to be implication that it was a psychological problem. I strongly disagree. I will be talking to a doctor about starting xolair in a few days. I know it's used to lower IgE and wonder if anyone has noticed any other benefit - like lowering C-reactive protein (mine is high but it's supposed to be influenced by allergies) or arthritis or anything else? Perhaps just having asthma under control could make other conditions seem milder. Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
