Comparing Mepolizumab vs Nucala

For Asthma: I have been on Nucala for 2 years. I am 41 years old. I’ve had several sinus infections, coughing like crazy, reflux. When the Dr discovered I had Eosinophic allergic asthma, he put me on Nucala. About 10 minutes after my injection I had severe back pain & fatigue. As time goes by, I’m noticing more side effects. I’ve lost 30% of my hair. Severe dry skin on face. Arthritic pain. Headaches. Nucala has helped me tremendously, but I’m so upset about all my thinning/lost hair. I’ve had every blood test done. Thyroid checked. All good. Has to be a side effect. Everyone PLEASE REPORT ALLLLL YOUR SIDE EFFECTS!!! They need to know so many people are suffering from hair loss, joint pain, fatigue, headaches, muscle spasms, ..etc I have to meet with my Dr again to go over all this.

For Asthma: Nucala deserves 7 stars. Nucala co-pay program should be discontinued. I have had Asthma all my life. I am 46 years old. I have also been on steroids since I was 10. I had almost immediate results after my first injection. I haven’t used my rescue inhaler once, which is unheard of. However, my blood pressure has sky rocketed. The only thing I can relate that is new, is the Nucala. Also, I was approved for their co-payment program. Don’t be fooled. They claimed to cover anything Nucala related, up to $11,000 a year. Wrong. They’ve changed their process. After being approved for the program and starting it, now they want me to pay up front and they will reimburse me after its approved. It’s been hell to get reimbursed (I haven't seen a $1) and fee’s are racking up quickly. Even the doctors office doesn’t understand their billing. To save my credit rating, I will have to pay for the fee’s and discontinue Nucala. Their co-pay program is terrible!!! Don’t be fooled!
