Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Dear group, If you self inject and miss your day, give yourself the injection the day you remember. Reason: Xolair binds the free floating IGE in your system. You continually build IGE by being exposed to your allergens. Therefore waiting the 2weeks for an injection does not make sense. You would have built up more IGE and could possibly have a reaction to your allergens and an asthma exacerbation (worsening). Remember that all " nurses " in your doctors offices are not really Registered Nurses. If they can't describe the mechanism of action, the reason for the mixing technique etc... I'd call Xpansions and speak to a Registered Nurse who knows all about Xolair. If you get your injections in the doctors office and miss your day, reschedule for as soon as they can get you in. Many of you will not have a problem, but a few of you might live in an area where you have several allergens and build IGE quickly, I'd hate to hear of an asthma exacerbation because someone not as intelligent as you are gave you incorrect information. My 2 cents. Pat --------------------------------- 8:00? 8:25? 8:40? Find a flick in no time with the Search movie showtime shortcut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
