Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 HI I can relate to your story. I have been on Xolair since February 2006...got off the pred in May 2006 (was on it since November 2005 and usually 4-5 times per year before that). I started having problems breathing Wednesday morning (Peak Flows just above 150)...went to the dr right away and had to start Prednisone 50mg...I was pretty depressed (as would agree with as I emailed her and started whining about it immediately!!!) I am feeling better ashtma wise, but with just 3 days in I am starting all my usual prednisone side effects...which are quite nasty and individual to everyone! My family dr. also added in Theophylline 300mg daily just over 1 year ago and at the time, it really helped me and I continue to take it and have my blood tested regularly. I am really hoping that when I go back to the dr. next week she will allow me to do a fast taper of the Evil Candy! Pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
