Nucala (mepolizumab) for Asthma "I'm 64, was put on disability at 62 due to severe cough asthma and reflux. Prednisolone helped a bit, but a skeleton X-ray showed severe loss of bone structure. Was given first Dupixent for 3 months, no improvement, then Nucala. I've been on it every 4 weeks since. Asthma and cough are gone, but I produce a lot of snot and have some hair loss. All in all, so far I give Nucala 9 out of 10 in my personal opinion. PS. Still use Flutiform inhalation in the morning, and I have some issues with hypertension and prostate that I medicate with pills and yearly check-up (Norway national healthcare system)."

Nucala (mepolizumab) for Asthma "I have had 5 injections for asthma. I think it helped, but the back pain, chest pain, itchy torso, itching scalp are unbearable at times. In addition, I developed a urinary tract infection and diverticulitis. GI doctor says the chest pain may be esophageal. I have had chest x-ray, chest scan, heart CT scan - all show nothing unusual. But I don't know what I will do when asthma symptoms recur because the pain is hard to live with every day."

Nucala (mepolizumab) for Asthma "No issues in the injection area. Nothing immediate or that day of the shot. Headaches, but not until the next day or two. It may not be related to Nucala. I've had the 3rd shot now, and I feel a little nausea, but it's been two days."

Nucala (mepolizumab) for Asthma "I'm from Argentina and have had asthma since I was 8. I started using Nucala 2 years ago. It took at least 8 to 9 months to have an effect on my body, but it was amazing. Before Nucala, I used to nebulize 6 or 7 times a day and would wake up at night at 3 am because I needed a nebulization. I even had a nebulizer with a battery to use on trips, but now I have it stored away. Nucala changed my life. It's a pen, which I press to my tummy, and after hearing one click, 20 seconds later, I hear a second click, and that's it. I use it once a month and have had no side effects."

"Mepolizumab has proven to be very effective and is a transformative life changer/enhancer for me. For many years/decades I put up with skin damage and bone risk caused by prednisolone. since commencing mepolizumab I have been able to stop prednisolone."

For Asthma "Been diagnosed with Asthma and COPD in 2007. My Asthma got worse over the years, was on steroids but nothing seems to help, been hospitalised in 2017 twice. My doctor recommended to try Mepo. I started in August 2018 it took some time before I felt the difference. But I say that I have less problems since I got the injection, less infections bit more energy. I get my last one this month and see my doctor if I can continue with the injection. I believe that it will definitely help me to cope with my asthma and improve my life style."

Nucala (mepolizumab) "I’ve only had 1 dose of Nucala and it made me feel lightheaded and made my blood pressure drop to 91/60. I still had to stay on the steroids during my relapse, but I’m still hopeful. The plan is to complete lot be off of the steroids and have my CEP in remission. If you also have Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia, I would love to compare stories since we are so rare."

Nucala (mepolizumab) for Asthma, Maintenance "I have been having monthly Nucala injections for about seven years now, after previously suffering with severe asthma and bronchiectasis. I have never smoked once in my whole life. The effects of the Nucala were a wonderful relief, almost like a miracle. I was able to live a normal life, except if I caught flu or a bad cold. I do not know what has happened to cause these chest problems to become suddenly so severe in the space of one month - wheezing, coughing up every 30 minutes through the night, and breathlessness, even though I am on steroids and antibiotics. I just hope and pray that after my next Nucala injection, I will be well again."

For Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis "Hope this helps someone else: Nucala works quite well. I can’t imagine where I’d be without it. Several other conditions were tested before my diagnosis of EGPA, including aspergillosis. Eventually a lung biopsy & opinion of a leading EPGA specialist confirmed EGPA. Have been tested for hypereosinophila (yes, there is a test) & was negative. OK, so its definitely EGPA! Uncertain if any issues I have are true side effects of the drug, or due to other meds & conditions. I just want to feel good & not dwell on daily ups & downs, though I think I should have sucked it up & kept a medical journal. (I made this mistake with regards another med some years ago. Keep a journal for a few months or years when adding or changing meds, you may find it useful). Been on Nucala for 5 yrs or thereabouts after coming down with a vicious bout of pulmonary issues & pneumonia that were distilled down to EGPA/“Eosinophilic Asthma.”"
