staystrong Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Has anyone taken the allergic medication called Xolair? I am considering it, but do not know of anyone who has taken it. My dysautonomia doc has no experience with it. Also Do any of you take allergy shots. I am considering them, BUT after allergy testing which revealed significant allergies, I had chest pain, chills, and was shaking for 3 days. This started shortly after the testing. So I am a little afraid of allergy shots. Would they affect me as bad as the testing did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meghan Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I have no experience with the allergy drug Xolair (although I have taken almost every thing else-- Claritin, Claritin D, Clarinex, Zyertek, Allegra D, Allegra 180, etc.). I do, however, take allergy shots. I have been doing them for about three years now. I started before I was diagnosed with POTS and have continued to take them. I haven't really noticed any effect on my POTS symptoms from the allergy shots. I would talk to your doctor about taking the allergy shots though if you are concerned that it might make your symptoms worse. ~ Meghan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjdube Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Yes I took Xolair and it did nothing for my allergies, in fact I think they are worse now than before and have other strange problems that developed since I starting taking Xolair but that could unrelated.
