A little better intro of me.

[Guest guest]

I didn't really get to indroduce myself yesterday since it was

beginning to storm here.

I'm 27 years old and live in the south. I was diagnosed with

asthma at 11. It was really mild way back then. I only had the one

rescue inhaler that I used maybe a couple of times a year. The older

I got, the worse my asthma became. I started on beclovent. They then

came out with flovent and serevent. Then they added the singulair and

thank goodness GSK made advair. I hated flovent and serevent

seprately. (I wouldn't take them all the time. They gave me a

headache.) Then came the allergy shots which I have been doing for

almost 10 years. Then the steriod shots and prednisone burst and the

home nebulizor. The year before I started the Xolair; I did 8

prednison burst in 10 months. I no longer respond to 10 mg. dose

packs. I do strait 40 mg for 5 days when I need them. Then I found

Xolair (well, my doctor told me about it). I was really unsure about

it at first. But I needed to do somthing. So I started Xolair. I do

the 300mg dose every other week. Don't care much for the needles, but

then again who dose. The medication has truly given my life back. I

actually enjoy being outdoors again. I love to camp and fish, but

with my previous history there was no way. Well, I guess that is

enough about me. :-)
