Hi. Don’t worry, I have just been switched to fasendra as Mepo was no longer working for me. This is not the end of the road. There is also a 3rd option, but I can’t remember the name of it. Stay positive. Happy new year xx

Hi, hope you got some help at your January appointment. There are actually about 5 different biologic injections they might be able to try you on so don't give up hope. I was first put on Xolair but had a reaction so switched to Mepo. I've just done my 22nd injection and still keeping well, no steroids or antibiotics! Life saver these injections.
