Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I have Samter's syndrome and have convinced my Doc to let me try Xolair not only because of my asthma but because I have read some studies about how well it works for sinusitis and nasal polyps. I cannot smell or taste and was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the Xolair would help with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Xolair has greatly helped me sinus issues, although haven't ever had polyps and I don't have Samter's. Welcome to the group. Good luck with Xolair! > > I have Samter's syndrome and have convinced my Doc to let me try > Xolair not only because of my asthma but because I have read some > studies about how well it works for sinusitis and nasal polyps.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hi: I have had nasal polyp operations since the 60's. I've had 13 operations and haven't been able to smell or taste since then. I have the aspirin/asthma syndrome. I been on Xolair for one year now I still can't smell or taste and I have sinusitis too.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I have a similar syndrome. I have used xolair for almost 3 years now. It helped me get off prednisone, and it eliminated my polyps, but unfortunately my sense of smell did not return except for the very strongest odors. I guess it depends how much damage has been done due to the disease or surgerise. Good luck. > I have Samter's syndrome and have convinced my Doc to let me try > Xolair not only because of my asthma but because I have read some > studies about how well it works for sinusitis and nasal polyps.
