Re: heavy solvent exposure - serious headaches, but no asthma

[Guest guest]

Addy,

OMG yes. I went school shopping for the entire day yesterday. I even went to

Wal-Mart and the mall and used my inhaler once. 1 year ago I would of left in an

ambulance . I have a severe latex allergy. I think I should be a Xolair spokes

person. I had my support meeting and some are afraid of it I was convincing them

it is so worth the risk.

Subject: [ ] heavy solvent exposure - serious headaches, but no

asthma

The last three days we've had a lot of solvents around work due to

final stages in some of the construction on our new offices. My

headaches have been maddening, but my lungs have stayed stable. While

this is not a direct effect of Xolair, I think that my lungs are

becoming less REACTIVE. I used to live with chronic inflammation even

on good days (I went to a new ENT pre-Xolair and reported that I was

having relatively few symptoms that day and he was stunned at how much

my sinus and lung tissue was inflamed). Is anyone else seeing this

type of improvement?
