Re: Re: Xolair and allergies to dogs

[Guest guest]

I wish I could agree. Perhaps a poll should be taken?

When I went for the allergy testing back in December, I lit up like a

Christmas tree to cats.

Some things I am stil sensitive to, others, not so much. I am just glad I am

not like I was before.

Kudos to Xolair!

Hi, I have been on Xolair for about 2 years. I have dogs and cats. I

was allergic to " everything " and yes-- to them also. I have had little

problem with them since---probably the cats moreso. I had taken and

stopped allergy shots 4 times and nothing helped except Xolair!

My husband retired from the Postal Service and we have GEHA (Federal Insurance)

along with Medicare and we don't have to pay for anything (including my xolair)

but our prescription co-pays can get pricey at times because we have the low

option. We figured out that it is about the same either way we go--pay high

option premiums and low copay, costs us as much as the low premium and the

higher co pays.

We are still grateful that they pay for my xolair.

My 83 year old mother in law lives with us. Her late husband was

retired from the US Postal Service. He made sure she had a good BCBS

Federal supplement. After her Medicare pays, the BCBS picks up the

rest. She has NO co pays at all for hospital or doctors but does have

a small one for prescriptions.

She just spent 4 days in the hospital (she is fine) and we will not

have to pay one cent.

Hi, Doug,

Your dogs look really fierce......(smile) I love the pictures.

It is raining right now and I am supposed to work the concession stand. I

don't clean it or let people in with perfume on.

Taking one breath at a time.

They say Chihuahua's can take away your asthma, right? My doctor says

that they CAN but only if they are bringing you your inhaler LOL!

Seriously, I have had Chihuahua's since 1985 and they have not hurt

or helped but we must remember, EACH of us is different.

We now have two FIERCE BEASTS named Spike and Rambo.

Hey, look in the pictures section to see our beasts LOL!
