"With Fasenra , I began to live again, before it seemed to me that I was dying from lack of air, wheezing, whistling and constant debilitating cough and annual operations on the sinuses of the nose, but after 3 months of using the drug, panic attacks began with tachycardia and increased blood pressure, congestion in my head and general poor health, but everything is fine with the respiratory system, I quit prednisolone, there are fewer respiratory diseases and most importantly I breathe. What to do next I do not know?"

"I have been on this medication for 9 months. Initial dosage was 30mg each month for 3 months and then 30mg every 8 weeks, self-administered. This medication has been very successful in reducing my asthma symptoms. It has successfully increased my peak flows from 350 to now an average of 470 and at times 550 daily. Treatment has reduced to 2 puffs twice a day of budesonide 4.5mg + 2 puffs of tiotropium 4.5mg. It has successfully prevented the formation of mucus in my lungs. I no longer need my blue inhaler, however, the only drawback has been slight swelling of my ankle and knuckle joints together with a very itchy rash, yet to be resolved."

Fasenra (benralizumab) "My first dose did not go as well as the other med I was taking. Not an allergic reaction but I was very tired, a bit disoriented, and felt 'weird.' They called the doctor into the infusion room. Trying it again and will have to stay two hours instead of one. I like the other med much better. I had an extreme reduction in attacks on that one. Insurance would not pay and my copay was $2.00. Fasenra is $75 for each infusion."
