Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I have been on Xolair for 3 years now. The first year, I didn't get any relief at all. I told my doctor that I wanted to quit taking it. It was just not worth the time and expense. He encouraged me to say on it just a few more months. Well, the very next month, I started seeing results. These results were small at first but they have become even better with each year. Before Xolair, I was nebbing 4-6 times a day with Xopenex, Ipratropium Bromide and Pulmicort and taking 40 mg of evil candy (Prednisone) a day plus Advair 500 with not much relief. The first year, there was not much relief. The next year, I was able to stop the Pulmicort and was taking 10 mg of evil candy. The third year, the evil candy was down to 5 mg and I was nebbing 3 times a day. The third year, I was off the evil candy and nebbing 3 times a day. This year, I am OFF THE EVIL CANDY! and am nebbing once a day. I don't have very much asthma anymore. I FEEL LIKE A NORMAL PERSON! Side effects? you as. What side effects?? Does Xolair work, you ask? I am an example!! Doug Group founder Co-owner-moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
