Re: experience with xolair and exercise induced asthma

[Guest guest]

hi jeff,

i'm not sure that xolair will help your exercise induced asthma (EIA - because

i'm too lazy to type it out!!) unless your EIA is somehow connected to

allergies. (like me - i used to do some pretty intense mountain biking..not

only would my asthma flare from teh exercise but also from the mold, pollen and

whatnot found in the mountain biking trails. after xolair, my EIA didn't seem so

bad b/c we removed the allergic part of my asthma).

do you pre-treat (use albuterol inhaler) before biking or jogging?

has your dr been able to weigh in on how to better control your EIA?

good luck getting approved!

I am currently going through the process of getting approved for

xolair and was wondering if anyone can share their experiences with

improvement with exercise induced asthma. Injections, singulair,

Qvar, and Foradil keep the seasonal affects in check, but extreme

aerobic exercise [bicycling, jogging] brings on asthma attacks.

Thanks

Jeff,

I also had exercise induced asthma and I went from not being able to exercise

to being able to do 4 miles in an hour pushing two small kids up and down hills

in a jogging stroller. I timed myself on each lap and I was getting

stronger/faster each time around - amazing. I never expected that type of

improvement.

Hi :

About a year ago, I asked if there were anyone out there that had an antibody

test taken, and several people answered saying they had, and the count was low.

I was one of them. My immunologist recommended my pulmonologist give me a

pneumonia shot, and I should be tested in 6 months. Well it's been 6 months,

and my antibodies are down again, and I just got another pneumonia shot. They

say it's all right, otherwise I would have to get transfusions.

Is there anyone out there in the same boat, or may have info. on this? I

would really appreciate.

Thanks,

Kathy
