Re: Long Island - about to start Xolair and have a question for this group

[Guest guest]

i spoke to you off the board about this - i'm on long island, about

10 minutes away from you. my dr thinks the 2 hour wait is a bit

crazy, and allows me to leave right after my shots.

my dr is in stony brook - i've been with her for 17 years, since i

was about 15. if you want her name/number, let me know.

since my initial IgE was over 700, i'm on the max dose, 375 every

two weeks. i had some results from the xolair about 6-7 months after

starting it, and got hte full effect in just over a year....and i've

been pred-free for two years!! =o)

Hi "

I haven't had to wait the two hours for a month now, evidently the FDA changed

the rules. It's possible that you have to wait because you're just starting.

I've been on it for three and half years.

Good luck,

Kathy

I really can't see myself having over 2 hours of down time each week

especially during normal business hours.

I live on Long Island, NY and was wondering if anyone here has a

Doctor or knows of one that doesn't require you to wait the full 2

hours after the shot?

Also, my doctor has seen results in most within 3 months. When did

you see results?

I just REALLY want off the inhaled steroids/prednisone here and there

and all the other meds I have to take just so I can sort of function.

Oh ya, Hello to you all

It's my understanding that there is no law that one has to wait. The

FDA issued an advisory/recommendation that the wait time be two

hours.

For any other questions about the FDA advisory or the potential for

anaphylactic reactions due to Xolair, please refer to previous

posts. This is a dead horse that has been flogged on this board a

number of times already.

Thank you, and good luck!
