Re: How is everyone doing on Xolair

[Guest guest]

Why wait?

It takes up to a year to be effective for some people.

I am still crawling out of the prednisone hole....

Why wait? For most of us it has been a miracle, and for most people

it takes 2-4 months to be effective once you start it.

Hi,

I am Sr. Volz, C.R. from Chicago. I was on that was supposed to start on

Xolair in November of 2003 but didn't start until February of 2004. Part of it

was cost and getting permission. I have been on it for almost 2 years. I have

been in and out of the hospital 3-4 times in this time, because of major

renovation in my house. I have not been off of Predisone for about 3 months. I

am doing really well according to my Pulmonary doctor. She is so happy I am one

of her best examples of how well Xolair works. She is thing of cutting out

another one of my medications. I am on a handfull, with Xolair.

On the Asthma Walk-a-thon side, I and my niece raised over $1,100.00 for asthma

research and education.

All the time I have.

Sr. Volz, C.R.

I am slowly reading through all of the previous posts to see how

everyone was doing with the Xolair.

For a few of you, it has been 2 years.

Can I have an update on how you are doing???? My family Dr. wanted me

to wait until next June to start Xolair, but I think I will start the

wheels in motion for insurance approval when I go back to the

respirologist in February/06.

bye for now
