Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Hi All. I am a newbie. Just today my doctor advised we that the HMO approved me for Xolair. I have been waiting for over a year for this day. Should get my first shot in 1-2 weeks. I have pretty severe asthma--230-350 peak flow. The doc warned me of the possible negative side effects and urged careful review to ensure it is helpful in 6 months. He also said FDA will only allow a patient to use Xolair for 1 year, and then drop it. Is this what you all are hearing too?? I have moderate-severe allergies (and asthma with the spring/summer pollens, esp Alder trees and grasses. I sure hope this gives relief without reaching for Prednizone. Take care and I look forward to hearing more of your atories. Bruce, from the great Northwest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
