Home/office Injs, Improvement, Arthritis

[Guest guest]

Saw my pulmo today for my " routine " 3 month follow-up since starting

Xolair in March. The assistant greeted me with the news that from now

on I could get shots in the clinic. Oh,ho,ho, NOT! I mean REALLY

N O T !!! The doc was great - seems that (as already noted on this

board) the fed drug admin has put out a lot of mumbo jumbo about Xolair

in offices. She saw no reason why I need to come in nor did I so I

continue with home injections. She must be one of the smarter docs

around ... !!!!

My numbers were up again based on PFT results - that means lung fuction

is gradually getting better. Sure would like it to be excellent but

per numbers have shown steady improvement. Hate those PFT tests - this

time I griped loudly about it.

Looks like other biologics for now are a moot point for me -

methotrexateis way too dangerous. I'll be telling my rheumy I'll take

Plaquenil ... assume there's no influence on asthma or allergies or

Xolair with that. Anyone else experienced with this?
