turned off to Xolair now as the struggle has been so exhausting and

disgusting.

sit in the hallway outside the doctor's office and inject next week

if all else failed. That was no joke. I would do it.

some relief - both from the nasty CuraScript and Genentech as well as

the devastating allergies and asthma. Trying to figure out which is

worse right now but am opting for Xolair shot.

I didn't realize that and will be very diligent myself as well as

keeping an eye on the nurse during preparation and injection. Your

info might very well be saving me some grief! The info I found on a

nurses training website for Xolair did not go into that much info so

I'm a bit concerned about getting messed up by a nurse - know more

now and knowledge is power!

Wooh! Hoo! Doing the happy dance for you.

As for the companies hassling you, remember they are running scared.

They don't want to the first to have some patient chack on their

watch.

Keep your eyes on the bigger prize, feeling better because of the

Xolair injections!
