I have been following threads that relate to the use of Xolair. There are two others who have used Xolair in the recent past, specifically @hellopeeps and @lo1. I am very curious and interested in knowing how you and they are doing after receiving the complete treatment.

I use Xolair for my moderate to severe asthma. My asthma is triggered by allergies. I moved to Austin, TX 18 years ago and from month 1, I started getting hay fever, then that went to migraines and hives, and severe asthma attacks. All of this landed me in and out of emergency rooms, emergency steroid shots, being on 4 different types of nebulizer solutions 2X a day - and many inhalers.... My doctor finally put me on Xolair almost 5 years ago - and I started it just as I was coming off of another asthma episode. My asthma "episodes" typically lasted several weeks and sometimes up to 2 months.

It took Xolair about 4 to 5 months before I noticed my asthmatic reactions were reduced. And since then, I haven't had a trip to the emergency room, steroids etc. The bummer is that in order for me to live a normal life, I have to get monthly Xolair shots (1 in each arm) plus I still need to continue with monthly allergy shots (4 shots). So in order for me to live in Austin, I have to get 6 shots a months... not fun but the alternative is worse.
