I am not even completely ramped up yet and I am already noticing a big difference and have seen an improvement in lung functions. I have went 4 months without being to the CF clinic (knocking on wood) my appointment is in a couple weeks and if I make it to that one without getting sick it will eb the longest I have ever went without getting an exacerbation.

Now to be fair I am also taking xolair to get my IGE levels down from 3-400 level due to ABPA. However, the two of them in combination are really helpign with my allergies. The end result is the reduction in IGE and that will happen with allergy treatment regardless of if you have to take xolair too or not.

I cant say enough about it, evne if it wasnt helping my lungs my quality of life is higher without all the crap running down back of my throat and the super sinus headaches constantly. I know it's a PITA but worth it IMO.

I've had incredible allergy problems since we moved in January and I've had two exacerbations where I needed IV's this year. Compare that to one in 3 years before that!

I'm supposed to be seeing an allergist for a workup on Dec 7th and wondered about allergy shots, also, so I was glad to see this thread.
