Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi All My name is Therese from Ireland, and this is my first time to post on the site. I just want to take the opporunity to introduce mysef. I have had asthma for 9 years now and was diagnosed with bronchiectasis in May 2006. After a year of continuous antibiotics, steroids, inhalers and hospital visits and stays, my consultant has recommendded Xolair. I was at first very apprehensive when I read about the adverse effects it can have and the FDA Black Box Warning. However after visiting this site and hearing what you all have to say, I have made my decision this weekend to take the Xolair. It seems that Xolair has had a dramatic effect on improving the quality of life of some of the users. I am staying positive and I am hoping that I will have the same positive outcome Finding this site has been a great blessing. It has taken the mystery out of the treatment and has giving me the confidence to make an informed decision. I have to go for some tests next week, prior to commencing the injections. I will keep you posted. A big thank-you to you all for sharing your experiences on this site. It is great to have a forum for sharing information with others who are going through a similar life experienc. Warmest Wishes Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
