Re: might have to off xolair

Jody,

I agree with whoever suggested that you check into the assistance

program. Also, what dosage are you on? If you are getting Xolair

every 2 weeks, you could try going to a monthly dosage. That would

cut into your income less. If your husband is supportive, I would

consider staying on it as long as you can!

Hi Sister and all -- I went ahead and got the Xolair at the new higher

copay amount. It will fit in our budget right now, so might as well, as it is

helpful.

Enjoy your day!

Hi, Jody,

Yes it might be a high price to pay but how many other medications are you not

having to pay for because of being on Xolair. I aggree with Addy. If your

husband is supporting you and says it is ok. I would continue. Or it may be a

big skid to be off..... Will write more at another time I have go go drive the

bus. My asthma has been triggered because of painting or touching up and

cleaning up at my house. I have very little access to the computer. All for

now. Will catchup at some point.

As always.

I am really bummed. We switched insurance companies from Cigna to Humana. The

new company (Humana) will cover the Xolair shots, but the co-pay is quite

high....I was paying $15 and now the cost to me will be $135. I'm not sure what

I will do. The Xolair has helped, I am sure, but I lived for years without it.

So perhaps its not that big a deal. My husband says to go ahead and pay it --

it has helped and I need it. On the other hand, it sure seems like a lot to

pay.
