discontinuing Xolair treatment b/c it's working

[Guest guest]

I've heard a couple of you report that your doctors have suggested

this. I had to go off Xolair due to changes in insurance in 2005 for

about 4 months. When I started back up, my doctor started me at a

lower dose and boy was that a disaster. I've been back at the max dose

since early 2006. My doc has said they are hoping that some patients

will see a permanent improvement that could allow them to discontinue

Xolair but he told me that I will never be in that group.

He's my favorite doctor EVER.

Hi, Addy,

 

I have been on Xolair almost as long as Doug.  I was on once a month and then

went to two shots twice a month because there were to many allergents in my

house that I can do nothing about.  I went to the doctor in June and she was

going to be out for a week and so I had to wait an extra week.  The Xolair

worked through the extra week and when I got my shot it worked really well. My

point in all this is that Xolair really works for me.  The Doctor wants me to be

a poster person for Xolair.....

I am getting ready for my 4-5th Asthma Walk.....Go Bus Crew.

Breathing better one day at a time.

 

As Always,

Sr.

Dear Sr. :

 

Congratulations on being on xolair for so long and for doing so well.  I have

been on xolair for two years, on the lowest dose--once every four weeks for the

first 18 months and the doctor extended the length of time to once every six

weeks, which has left me a little sob the last two weeks, from time to

time--more so than when I was on the every four weeks shot.  It has made a

difference in the way I feel overall--no sinus infections that required an

antibiotic, and no prednisone for two years....that is a big time improvement

for me, as I was previously on antibiotics anywhere from two to four times a

year, and the pred usually was added as well. 

 

Keep on breathing well and congrats on running in the asthma run for life!
