Fearful about starting Xolair

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

New member here. Severe asthma and I have been on prednisone (60 mg)

for 15+ years, also on multiple time daily doses of advair, singulair,

theophylline, and xopenex. Have an at-home nebulizer and all the other

fun stuff.

Asthma has been out of control of late and I've had multiple trips to

the ER. My doctor has suggested Xolair but I've read about lots of

potential health hazards. However, I've also read plenty of success

stories that lead me to believe it is something I should try.

Please let me know what advice you can provide to a sufferer who is

fearful of trying this for the first time but is running out of options.

Thanks in advance to all.
