So, OK
Did fine with initial pair of Xolair shots. Came home and googled up the raw costs of the drug, which I’d deliberately avoided doing beforehand. (First hit’s free, remember.) I won’t know if it works for a couple of months at least; meanwhile I’m having sweats and hotflashes just thinking about How the hell do I pay for it if it does help?? Right now it’s in the hands of the insurers and Genentech.
I considered selling naming rights, but calling myself Omalizumab would be even worse than Veronica.
