Yes. I had exactly that problem in 2003.

Fortunately, I moved two months later to a city where there was an

allergist who gave xolair in his office.

This is really a shame for with the high cost of gasoline now.

I sure hope that your doctor changes his/her mind.

Yes...find another doctor!!! 

 

 Not only is that rude, but it is highly unprofessional for a doctor to tell you

that they are to busy to do an injection.!

I live in a rural area and my allergist is 200 miles away. My GP said

he cannot give the shots (nurse too busy) and the hospital here also

refused. My only option is to travel 200 miles 2x month. Allergist

will not allow me to self-inject.

Has anyone had similar issues ? Any suggestions ?

Your doctor just does not want to train his nurses in the special

procedures required for giving xolair. Mine in my last city didn't

want to go to the expense of training his nurses for just one patient.
