Can Xolair lose its effectiveness

[Guest guest]

I've been doing loads and loads of research but I can't find anything that even

suggests Xolair can stop working once a person begins to see benefits.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case for me. I've been getting 150/75,

alternating every two weeks for about 2 years and for about 1 1/2 years I felt

pretty close to being cured. Recently, the shots just haven't been working as

well. I thought it was because of the brutal summer we had but that weather

system is long gone. The weather is beautiful now.

Nowadays, my shots seem to be effective for 5 days, leaving me with 9 days of

hell. I can't step foot into my bed without facing the insane itching. Once

that starts the mucus production factories begin working over time and the chest

tightness sets in. I'm lucky if I get 2 hours of sleep per night. I'm just

puzzled how Xolair could work so well for so long and then stop working after 5

days.

Is my body producing larger amounts of IgE all of a sudden ? My weight hasn't

changed. My lifestyle hasn't changed. I'm just puzzled. I guess I'll sleep in

the bathtub tonight. I don't think dust mites can leave on cast iron, can they?

Back to the doc I guess. I'm pretty much ready to throw in the towel and

accept my fate.
