Have they thought about cyclosporine? . It’s sometimes recommended after zolair failure and some people get long remissions. It has to be monitored closely though.
Dapsone has also been used with success in some patients. The International guidelines have the drugs used in section 5.4. It would give you something to ask doc about. I wish you luck!

Thank you. My Xolair is controlled I’d say 90% of the time. I’ve looked at the cyclosporine and that’s a pretty intense drug that’s used for transplant people. I now have a red light pad for some other purpose, and next time I have an outbreak I’m going ot use that. It’s got some good research behind it.
