Not OP, but I can give some first-hand insight! I’ve been treated with Omalizumab as well for five years. I did it solely for my multiple food allergies, but it took almost the whole treatment before I noticed any progress in that area. The thing with Xolair is, it mostly just treats airway allergies (like pollen, dust, cat- and dog hair etc), and the regress of food allergies is a good side-effect at best. I think it lets the body “restart” on its own pace without having any major obstacles lets say every spring. There is however a new drug called Dipulimab which in a similar manner (?) targets allergies and allergy-related eczema! I’ve heard it works wonders for people with severe until now untreatable eczema!

Not quite! They alternate an open/close state in a cycle lasting a couple of hours. It’s not dependent on if it’s day or night.

My wife is on HD right now, trying to get home HD, do you feel any more energetic with HD at home compared to when you went to the clinic to do it? My wife is sleepy all the time and it’s tearing us to bits.
