For Asthma "I have my 1st dose of Fasenra 5 days ago on March 26th, 2021. I went to my pulmonologist, and she administered the sample on me. I really hope it will work. After 2 years of suffering with very high numbers of eosinophils, I've been two or three times in the hospital due to asthma attacks. All my organs started to be affected by the eosinophilia I have. I have been on Dupixent and Nucala. Both of them helped me lower the numbers, but made me so sick. I will share with you my side effects from Fasenra. I got a headache and slight dizziness; muscle spasms and pain, which almost are gone; chest tightness and throat pain. The only thing that is bothering me currently a lot is the mouth sore. It appeared after the second day. I had that with all of my previous biological injections, but did not expect it after Fasenra. I was not able to find that side effect listed for it. Also, I did not see it in the review here. I truly would appreciate it if someone who got it after the injection would share with me."

For Asthma "I have severe asthma. By last Christmas, I had 2 shots of Fasenra. The positive is that it made my life better. The negative is I will run a high fever every 3 days in the beginning, and it decreases to every 2 weeks. With this fever, I have horrendous body pain and am wheelchair-bound. I don't like it, but will have to stop it because this is not a life."

For Asthma "I am experiencing extreme body aches, the first few injections were great. I felt awesome. Now, I’m in extreme pain. Wondering if it is the Fasenra."
