Guest guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 CArol, Other folks have posted to this board saying that they have heard the same thing from their docs. My pulmo, however, said that I evidently make new IgE at such a rate that I will be on Xolair forever, or at least until the next new thing comes along.
