Hello I have been having these injections for four years now, the first maybe eight injections tend to be the ones that you feel unwell or you body is getting used to but now don't have any unwellness after only maybe the occasional bruise at injection sign, my sideaffect at first was migraines but the subsided pretty quickly, hope this helps

I'm on them and have been for nearly a year now. I feel tired for a day or so after them but that's all. They have really helped my chronic asthma. I have three injections every four weeks.

I would, however speak to the nurses at the unit where your having them, make sure you tell them how your feeling. I had mine in Leicester to begin with and the nurses were great, very knowledgable I'm sure if you speak to the nurses they will give you the best advice. mine have really improved my asthma so much, hate having them though..lol
