I barely ever got sick before and now I had viral laryngitis for 7 weeks-zero voice, and now the gastro really bad for 2 weeks. it turned out to be viral too. I have Scleroderma, so I am thinking the Xolair is hitting me harder then it might if I didn't have an autoimmune disorder. I am going to ask my doc if he can give me 1 1/2 vials instead of 2 since it seems to be neutralizing my defense system. No asthma though! Thanks for your concern. Shirl. Quote
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 Shirl: I think stepping down the Xolair sounds like a smart move. Hope you're feeling better soon!
