Got the xolair today........

[Guest guest]

I wobbles my mind. At first, when I even asked about

Xolair, I figured the doctor would say no. Well, my

blood work qualified, so the RX was sent to the

insurance weasels.

Nothing ever goes my way. I didn't make a decision

about " actually getting the shot " , since surely the

insurance would deep six the application.

Well...after 3 weeks of waiting, the pharmacy actually

sent 3 complete Xolair set ups. The vials, syringes,

the whole nine yards. In a nice stryofoam box with

frozen solid freezer bricks.

I called the allergist, and next week I'll get my

first shot. I just have to make sure the stuff is

refridgerated. I'm keeping the gel bricks and

container incase my fridge dies (my luck).

Anyone actually take the shots at home? Curious.

I would have gone this week, but the allergist is

closed on Friday, car is at the dealers, and my

daughter is having an MRI

tomorrow. She is 20 months old. Should be fun.

blah.

Nan-->who is boggled that the pharmacy would actually

send

ME the stuff. The staff told me they prefer it

that way.

Had too many offices misplace things.

I give myself the shots at home, 3 every two weeks. It is easier then

going to the Dr.'s office and waiting. I have been doing it for

several months and have experienced not problems.
