My doctor recommend me doing it. So he got paper I needed fill out along with my insurance send it off see if my insurance pay for it or if you not able to the problem by nucala help you. After everything checked out great they go through with it. I have a nucala nurse who's going b apart of my team help me better to understand it. But talk to your doctor and he decide if your asthma bad enough to start. I heard a lot of great things about nucala and it decrease your asthma attacks by 84% less hospital visits etc

I just switched from Xolair to Nucala. Have had a high EOS white blood cell count for years now. Have only taken Nucala for one year now. The serum is not as thick as Xolair so my arm doesn't bruise in that spot and I love only going once a month instead of every two weeks. Hope you are able to get it soon. Yes there is a foundation that will give you a debit card with up to $11,000 to cover your costs if you qualify - there are some hoops to jump through. I have only had to take prednisone twice this year, so I am happy with the Nucala.
