My husband is on xolair and it has been a WONDERFUL medication!

He has his shots every two weeks, his was a very complex case of asthma, and has been virtually symptom free for almost a year!!!

Re: Help--any Xolair Feedback

Danialla,
I would be interested in knowing your husband's asthma symptoms. I have asthma is that is not "typical" - no wheezing, coughing, etc. I have allergies but I have never brought up this medication to my doctor. Could you please give me some background to your experience with it? Thanks so much!
Cindy

Re: Help--any Xolair Feedback

I have been on Xolair for a little over a year now and it has changed my life. I was diagnosed with asthma 21 years ago and have never been completely wheeze free. I have been hospitalized a few times and was in the ER constantly even though I have a nebulizer at home. I get my shots every two weeks and after the first shot I could tell a difference after only a couple of days. I can be around animals now and not worry about " I am going to the ER tonight." I don't have to take my albuteral nearly as often. There was a time when I was going through an inhaler every two weeks. I could never catch my breath. Xolair is wonderful.
