Re: Has xolair stopped working for anyone?

[Guest guest]

It is not possible to become immune to xolair. Your body does not develop a

tolerance to it like it can to pain meds (morphine) for example. Many things

trigger asthma including infection. So, if you got a viral or bacterial

bronchitits that is enough to render cause asthma symptoms as these conditions

cause the release of inflammatory mediators that trigger bronchospasm. The

asthmatic response can be triggered other than through mast cell degranulation.

So likely once you recover from the bronchitis you will feel that you are back

to your new baseline level.

This past January I felt as though Xolair stopped working. As it turns out, it

was the fact that we had 60 degree weather when it should have been 20 degrees.

Xolair is a very effective medication but it isn't a cure. If your case is

anything like mine your current condition will pass and Xolair will begin

working again. Hang in there, better days are ahead.

It is difficult to tell. does anyone grow immune to Xolair?

I was exposed to a ton of mold in early October 2006 and had one of

the worst (and longest) bouts of allergic asthma ever. My doc said

that my body continues to make unbound IgE for Xolair to latch onto

and that the huge mold exposure was more than I could take even on

Xolair. I think that it's true what others have said - Xolair is a

tremendous treatment, but it is not a cure - we are all still prone

to infection and to reactions if exposed to enough allergens or under

the right circumstances.
