I have been on Nucala for 3 months after having pneumonia twice in two years and uncontrollable asthma even with Dulera. My eosinophils went from 3400 to 60 and feeling much better. Has worked wonders for me 😊

I was on Nucala injections for one year. It definitely helped. I would get bad thick mucus and couldn't breathe. Definitely altered my life once I started on Nucala. I still always felt tired and weak. Checked side effects and tired was one. My pulmonologist put me on Fasenra. I got over being so tired. I have felt so much better. Been on Fasenra now for a year and a half. This was my reaction to the two drugs. Everyone is different in their response to drugs.

How did you get the eosinophils down, that’s terrific.

The Nucala got them down in less than 8 weeks. I was on Prednisone before starting Nucala, and for 2 weeks after first injection, which helped get them down.

This is interesting thanks. I also go to a site where I pray for others and post so that people pray for me, it costs nothing and does not take up much time. accuratepsychicreadingsonli.... Sometimes we need uplifting emotionally and mentally as well as help physically. It now seems that I have vasculitis and am struggling with that too, waiting to speak to a specialist and of course it is all held up with this lockdown situation. When I was struggling to breath and was referred to a chest person it took them eight months to follow up the letter. Hopefully this won't take so long.
