I was given my diagnosis today at Wythenshawe hospital - I have eosinophilc asthma.

Now I am on the waiting list for the medication- I will have to use my fostair and prednisolone in the meantime.

At least I know what I am up against.

I hope you will be getting Mepolizumab which is now approved for adults with severe asthma in England:-

Hi PMRPete

To what extent are you (or someone you know) benefitting from Mepolizumab for esosinophilic asthma - as I seem to have that phenotype too?
