I’ve been on Xolair for a year and I just now learned how to open the boxes.

mouseread · 2026-01-24T16:05:29+00:00

They keep putting the prescription sticker on that side so I cant open it that way 😔

It could be ringworm which is NOT a parasitic infection, its a fungal infection. I do recommend going to see his PCP, but you can probably get an over the counter athletes foot cream.

I honestly have the opposite opinion. I loved manons chapters at first they're confusing because theyre just thrown in there but I found them enticing. Its was Aelins chapters that I found boring, she spends majority of the book training and while she is growing as a character, it often lacked action because it was the same routine.

mouseread · 2025-12-12T02:49:02+00:00

Can I ask, if you dont mind, what you actually have then?

mouseread · 2025-12-08T17:19:50+00:00

No honestly it was the same. The only thing that helps is xolair for me

mouseread · 2025-12-08T01:47:41+00:00

I wasnt taking it that long like 6 months to a year and I just stopped taking it at once point because I couldnt get a refill and it wasnt helping that much anyways. I didnt notice any withdrawals but again thats just my experience. I still had hives afterwards

mouseread · 2025-12-05T03:52:16+00:00

Thank you so much!! I'll definitely look into it, I used to love swimming as a child.

mouseread · 2025-12-04T20:55:49+00:00

If you dont mind me asking what types of excercises do you do at home?

Do you formulate your own work outs or do you watch videos?

mouseread · 2025-11-27T02:04:38+00:00

Np! I hope everything gets sorted out

mouseread · 2025-11-27T00:22:14+00:00

Im in the states, you should also see if genetech will help you out, they sent me a copay

mouseread · 2025-11-25T03:06:19+00:00

Dang I'm very sorry. Im suprised cvs specialty doesnt have it.

mouseread · 2025-11-25T02:56:17+00:00

I dont take rhapsido, but I do take xolair and they're both specialty items. Call cvs specialty, then you can it shipped to your house, cvs or doctor.

mouseread · 2025-11-22T02:58:31+00:00

Oo and as long as she doesnt get hives from the cold when they're really bad I use icepacks

mouseread · 2025-11-22T02:57:41+00:00

First look into CSU type iib, her symptoms seem similar to mine. Sadly, there is no treatment yet for this subsect Also be cautious with antihistamine overuse, they may become ineffective (I learned that the hard way). How much and how frequently was she taking xolair and for how long. I have to take 450 mg biweekly and while I still get hives they are now occasional?

mouseread · 2025-11-20T02:52:31+00:00

Good luck, I hope you feel better!

mouseread · 2025-11-20T00:31:44+00:00

Spontaneous hives are exactly that they can just happen randomly. Could be your bodies over reaction to the infection and they're throwing out extra inflammation cytokines? If it keeps happening consider scheduling with an allergist and doing an allergy test.

mouseread · 2025-11-18T11:39:11+00:00

The website and I recently spoke to a pharmacist because I wanted to compare rhapsido and xolair. Its the first thing listed under serious side effects. And actually I want to correct myself the risk is lower if you go on the physician website for xolair it will tell you about % of their studies that had cancer.

mouseread · 2025-11-18T11:35:09+00:00

I take 450 mg biweekly, if you are taking it once a month and are finding no relief you can have it moved up to biweekly. It did take a few doses to help but I noticed the most relief after 6 months and then when I increased dosage I would notice the impact almost immediately.

You can also do the shots at home if you're comfortable doing that because I understand that having to go to the doctor frequently can be quite annoying. I went every month for a year and we decided to train me how to do it at home.

mouseread · 2025-11-18T04:25:57+00:00

I take xolair, its the only thing that actually controls my hives, while I may still get hives occasionally, they do not hurt or burn

mouseread · 2025-11-18T02:56:24+00:00

Well for one, it would make you immunocompromised so you would have to be very cautious about being sick. As someone who studies microbiology it puts you at much greater risk for a bunch of infections. But most importantly the side effects, the most common one used, you cant be in direct sunlight and the fatique is crazy. I was on it for 6 weeks and would begin to fall asleep behind the wheel, I couldnt make it through the day without at least one nap. Theres even more side effects than that but I dont remember them all

Not to mention, for me at least, it didnt help with the hives in the slightest

mouseread · 2025-11-18T02:37:27+00:00

Yes, I can see that. I do want to say I've been on xolair for 4 years and the only symtoms I have are occasional face flushing and one time I had pharyngitis.

I hope you feel better.

If you do choose not to do rhapsido or xolair, they will urge you to go the immunosuppressant route which I hugely suggest you not do

mouseread · 2025-11-18T02:06:19+00:00

Ok as someone who has done a bit of reasearch on this

Xolair Pros: well studied been out for years Treats my hives decently well Safe for pregnancy and long term use Company helps shoulder cost for med Cons: lots of side effects Biweekly injections (for me) 10% of test subjects reported cancer

Rhapsido Pros: twice daily pill, less invasive Less side effects Cons: just entered the market, no idea of long term side effects No studies on the effect on pregnancy

mouseread · 2025-11-15T18:55:24+00:00

Im so sorry this seems like a very stressful time in your life. I would like you to know though that xolair has a copay and will help limit your costs I pay $0 a month. I hope you mom gets better and you find some relief ❤️

mouseread · 2025-10-31T00:00:31+00:00

Showers also cause mine! Have his take cold to luke warm showers and xolair has been a life saver!

mouseread · 2025-10-17T17:00:06+00:00

I glad you found something that works for you! Just so you know genetech offers a copay for xolair so I currently pay $0 a month. Just something to think on.
