Waiting for Omalizumab

Attended the hospital today - was given possibly my final shot of benra after being told I would be switched to omalizumab. The consultant explained that even after being given biologics and taking large doses of steroids my eosiniphils remain very high.

I had my bloods done as I mentioned that I was having leg/joint pain as well as what I can describe as pins and needles in my feet - vasculitis was mentioned but the consultant believed if I had this I would be much more poorly however I am being referred for tests on my nerves.
