Re: oops, not enough answer

[Guest guest]

I'm glad you added that. For someone who is in distress there are other

options--even if it means going a little out of the way. Most insurance

companies that I've dealt with in the past welcome a second opinion and some

even require it for certain things. I can't imagine not having another option

for an allergist or pulmonologist, but then I live in a big city with several

big medical centers, so I am blessed in that regard.

I had 2 allergists in Little Rock also agree. Going to another

allergist or pulmo a few miles away might be worth it for your piece

of mind.

I was seeing a great allergist who said the same thing. He said he couldn't

treat me anymore because I was too severe and he was out of options. I saw a few

other pulmos who said I was at maximum treatment. This one has done numerous

tests and tried changing my treatments a bit. He is the one who suggested Xolair

but then pulled it after 6 months. So it's not that I don't trust what he is

saying, I just don't really care for him. But I don't want to repeat all the

tests and everything and since he knows my history I will just have to stick

with him.

I'm sorry it hasn't worked out for you. It sounds like you might have a doctor

who isn't completely sold on xolair yet. At any rate I pray that the meds you

are on begin to help you and you can get some relief.

I have also been told repeatedly I " m on maximum medical therapy. I

have considered going to National Jewish or Mayo. Like all of us

here, I am tired of tests. My doctor upped my Xolair back to the

maintenance dose (thank God) and I am doing better. For some reason

he cut it back to 300mg every two weeks from 375 and the 75 really

makes a huge difference.

What dose were you on when you were getting the Xolair?
