Not a week goes by when I don't see something on this board that makes

me say: " OH GOOD GRIEF! WHAT NEXT??? "

Now I read your post about a doctor wants his patients on the shots

but is so scared of a reaction that he makes another medical office or

hospital give them. This is nutz!

If a doctor wants you on the shots, it is his/her responsibility to

find someone to administer his orders. If not, then not order the

medication in the first place or send you to another doctor who WILL

administer them.

My advice to you is to find another doctor; one who will not be this

scared to give xolair to you.

Now is the time for our resident xolair professionals to put your two

cents worth in

Better yet, give them to yourselves at home with a competent friend and

an epi pen close by. I've been doing it for 6 months. Refused to put

up w/paranoid drug companies and their reps. My doc was really great

about it - it was her idea and I concur strongly.

Y'all must be so frustrated. I do think that a doctor should oversee

administration of any drug/treatment s/he prescribes unless it has

to be given under special circumstances - like nuclear med or

dialysis, which has to be given at a unit that does that sort of

thing. However, if you live in a small community and don't have a

lot of options, ya gotta work with what ya got!

Will your GP give them to you at his/her office??
