Thank you so much for your replies. I actually get the shot tomorrow! Can't wait to get back to my "normal" self off these steroids. Crossing my fingers for good results with the Xolair.

I have been on Prednisone and Decadron for approx 2 months battling ABPA. My Dr is starting me on Xolair injections next week. My question is basically the weight gain. Does Xolair have the same "moon face" and weight gain as the other steroids or will that subside as I taper off the Prednisone...

I take my nebulizer to work everyday and do my Albuterol, HS, & Pulomozyme everyday at my desk. My time is limited in the morning with getting a 6 year old ready for school.

After I got the CT Scan, the results showed I have collapsed lobe that my dr is not worried about at this moment, I guess it has been that was since 2007. And the deivated trachea is not of major concern right now either. So Thank You for your comments and help on looking my issue up.
