Thanks

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the warm welcomes, I found a website through search, I

read up on the Xolair, Its real name is " Omalizumab " , I'm not sure

If this medicine is for me, I dont get asthma from allergies, I mean

dont get me wrong, I can smell just cut grass and can't breathe as

well as I was before I smelled it, Same thing with cleaning

solutions and perfumes, But I dont think these are allergies like

what this medicine is for, Am I right? I still would like to try it

though, I'm still going to talk to my doctor about it too, See what

he thinks, I can remember having an allergy skin test done years

ago, where they put some sort of tape on my back for 24 hours I

think, (No bath or shower) Yuck, I remembered being miserable, But

The things I was allergic too was only trace things found in other

things, I can't really remember what they were, But I'm looking for

a miracle drug to take the place of the prednisone too, I'll try

anything as long as It's not going to kill me, I forgot to mention

that I'm also fighting a habit that I'm trying to kick...

Cigarettes. I've been trying to quit for over 5 years, But I keep

thinking I can smoke just one and then find myself smoking again, I

just quit again on 01/01/06, So far I'm doing okay, No cigarettes in

11 Days, 8 hours, 49 minutes and 6 seconds, I also belong to some no

smoking groups in too, I know I smoked because of stress,

worry, etc,. I know you all are probably thinking OMG how could I

smoke with all my health problems? I ask myself the same thing,

But please put me in your prayers, I don't want to die, I'm going to

do it this time, I can feel it, I get stronger everytime I quit, I

just got to remember not to let anything make me pick up a

cigarette, I have went months without smoking, I still didnt feel

better as far as my health, I still couldnt walk up a flight of

stairs without feeling like I was going to die, My doctor says It

will probably take a year of no smoking before I will be able to

really tell the difference, Am I the only one who smoked with these

health problems in their life? Sorry If I got off topic here, I'll

let everybody know what my doctor says when I get back tomorrow, I

guess I'll head on over to my no smoking group now, Thanks for

listening. Deborah
