Introduction...Going Crazy Itching

September 15, 2006

Just wanted to introduce myself here. My doctor is considering Xolair

for me but still has to make a few calls to some colleagues as he is not

familiar with it. I had my IEg tested and it was 968 ug/l and I weigh

138 lbs. My doctor said I was way off the chart and that is why he will

get back to me with his recommendations. Is there a chart online I

could look at to see what amount of Xolair I would require?

A bit about me (besides the fact I am going mad itching all the time)...

my family has a history of asthma and allergies (well my brother only

and since my mother was adopted, we know no medical history on her side

but my dad had none that he is aware of). I don't have asthma at all

but have been diagnosed with extreme air polluntant allergies. I have

minor food allergies but test off the chart of air things like pollens,

etc.

My symptom are hives all over my body. This all hit me when I turned 40

having nothing before then. I have started a website to keep a diary of

my illness and you can read about it here and see pics of how bad my

Glad to find a group and hope that Xolair may be my itching answer.

Warmly,

Tawnya
