For the last 3 yrs. I have developed a chronic cough with thick yellow mucous. I have had lifelong asthma but never had this problem. I am 50 yrs old and on multiple inhalers allergy injections and xolair injections. My allergist says it is just sinus drainage but I feel the mucous coming from deep within my lungs. Is it from chronic sinusitis which I have been treated for or just a symptom of progressive COPD ? Any input would be greatly appreciated

I have asthma and I take Advair 500/50, ProAir,Singulair,Zertek, and Xolair Injections once a month. I still get sick once a month right before the week my injections are due. I am so tired of being sick and just getting antibiotics month after month. Right now I have a bronchial Infection as well as Sinusitus. The doc never runs a sputum test or any other.

I have had severe chronic asthma for as long as I can remember. I use about 5 different inhalers daily, am taking 2 preventative oral pills, and am having to take breathing machine/nebulizer treatments up to 8 times a day at home. I used to be hospitalized so often that the doctor recommended I just buy my own nebulizer...this has prevented hundreds of hospitializations. I cannot sleep more than 2 hours at a time without waking up coughing, struggling to breathe, and/or sinus congestion. This

I have chronic severe asthma and allergies. Nothing helps to resolve my suffering...it bothers me constantly. I have tried almost every medication possible, including allergy shots for almost 20 yrs. My doctor thinks that the only medication left to try is the Xolair shot. Well, it is not covered by my insurance and I would need 2 shots per month. It costs around $2000 out of pocket!!! There is no way I can afford that (can anyone???)! I wanted to know if anyone has tried this medication...ho

Hi, I have my first xolair injection on 29th May. Has anyone else had one and knows what to expect - I will be discussing with my Consultant but it has taken so long to get a decision on whether to get it that we focussed on actually getting it funded rather than what to expect. My asthma has been bad since last October and I've been on steroid tablets ever since which I'm keen to get off the steroids and back to uni.

I was just reading the following on xolair.com: "...XOLAIR is a different type of medication, the first to treat the attacks and symptoms of allergic asthma by blocking immunoglobulin E (IgE), an underlying cause of allergic asthma. IgE is a substance that naturally occurs in your body in small amounts. When a person who has allergic asthma is exposed to an allergen, his or her body produces too much IgE. When these IgE antibodies combine with allergens, chemicals called mediators are relea
