Hi I am waiting to be admitted for a sub cutaneous syringe driver for brycanil infusions. It's a last resort for me. Anyone else have experience of this, thankyou x

I was on Bricanyl for a few years, it did ehlp but I got to the stage when I could no longer resite the needle, purely psycological. Good luck with it

Hi I myself am on the bricanyl infusion as a last resort as I have had ever thing including the kitchen sink thrown at my asthma, so I take it you are waiting for the blind test were you don't know if it's the real drug or not to see which one makes you feel better. Now if I remember rightly as my body as gotten use to bricanyl now in the test the real drug should give you a headache this is how you tell the difference, then if you get accepted for it you have to learn how to draw up the drugs and put it all together in front of a asthma nurse and when you have done all this jumping though hoops you should start to feel better I know I did, even though my asthma is poorly controlled I myself think that the bricanyl infusion has helped me. I hope this helps you and all goes well with you admission.
