Terrible all over itch

Just about to have my 3rd Nucala injection but after the 2nd where I notice a big difference in my chest, my less coughing, breathing easier and reduced use of inhalers, I have developed an itch all over spoke to the chemist who thought it might be to do with the immune system being suppressed. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar.

I take a strong antihistamine already for allergies and hay fever. I think it is something I might have ti raise with them. Just thought I would ask. Thank you

Hi,I've been on Nucala for almost 2 years and have never experienced itching. I suggest you mention it to whoever over sees your care.

I developed an itch which went from my chin right down my body to my toes within 36 hours of having a certain 'vaccination' produced by Pfizer. It lasted for two years. Apart from very, very strong antihistamine I also also used a product called AproDerm . I bought it myself at first but did eventually get it on prescription. There are several creams/lotions in the range but the one I used was the Colloidal Oat Cream. Avoid anything with paraffin because that just greases the skin. If you can't get it on prescription you can get it on Amazon which is a lot cheaper than via the pharmacy.

Hi, are you due a consultation with an Asthma nurse or similar..??If you are having a reaction to your Nucala injection they need to know.

I have been having Nucala injections since 2017 and have started to develop a red rash on my arms which I have passed on to my consultant and Asthma nurses.

Let them know..

👍👍
