Fran,

Welcome to the world of Xolair! We have had a few users see

improvement in less than a month. Congratulations.

FWIW....

About a few days after my first Xolair shot, my never

ending allergic dermatitis cleared up, for the first

time. I'm talking about patches the size of a silver

dollar, that blistered and drained (ugh...I know TMI).

I wish my nose would open up, but I have been abusing

Afrin for two years. Now I'm paying for the rebound

affect and addiction. Down to one spray on in one

nostril every day. That is huge for me.

I got the flu last week and had to go on pred (damn

it!). So I can't figure out if the shot is working

for the asthma because the medication is still kicking

around in me.

Glad somethings working!

I used to have terrible allergic dermatitis after working in this

one flower bed we have, regardless of how overly dressed and

protected I was. Since I started Xolair that hasn't been an issue

for me either. Glad yours has cleared up!

Fran,

The first response I noticed was my clear nasal passages. I actually noticed

that on the way home following the first shot. My lungs didn't feel better

until after the 3rd shot. Congrats!!

my eczema is so much better now that i'm on xolair. anything from being outside

to looking hard at my skin would set it off. now that i'm on xolair, i have

less eczema flares, and when it does flare, its not nearly as bad. YEAH

xolair!!!

My Exema got worse after starting Xolair. My doctor said that it was

NOT the xolair but was due to other medications I had starting for

other conditions that I started taking. I looked up all the

medications im on online and found one culprit.
