Re: Re: Have question about stopping Xolair during lapse in insurance coverage

[Guest guest]

Hello I am usually a watcher of emails but have to say I did have to wait two

months recently? off xolair due to insurance -- symptoms increased and was not

the first time in the 2 years have have missed another two months due to

shipment issues also. It is a shame local pharmacies can not carry this vital

medication.

I was forced to do this. It depends on your new insurance plan's

requirements regarding pre-existing conditions on how long it will

take you to get approved to get Xolair again. You may be required to

get a new IgE level from your doctor, but other than that, you should

still qualify. I agree with 's post - with everything she said.

I did see an increase in symptoms while I was off Xolair.
