Re: Thinking about asking our Doctor

[Guest guest]

If your wife has allergic asthma, it is very likely she will see

improvement using Xolair. Most of us have seen DRASTIC

improvements, but some folks have taken several months to reach

those improvements while others have taken 3 months or less.

Xolair is only for people with moderate to severe allergies. If

your wife's asthma is caused by emphasyma, for example, Xolair will

not be of benefit.

Good luck to you and your wife, and welcome to the group.

Goodness, I am sure eveyone would tell you to have her try it. If her asthma is

mediated by allergies, she will do great. 85% of people with asthma have the

allergic component. Good luck.

Rick,

Welcome to the group You might want to go back through previous

posts and see how all of us have done on Xolair. The best thing you

need to do is to ask your doctor.

For me, Xolair was a God send

I agree, a God send. The hope that is attached to it

is worth it's weight in gold (do note that gram per

gram Xolair is more expensive than gold!!!)

I have had 10 doses and am noticing gradual

improvements that I can only attribute to it. I am on

the lowest pred dose I have been on in two years...

Welcom to the group!

ps In case you were curious, there are now 230+

Canadians on Xolair. I was number 12.
