New med... reactions?
Hi, My dr talked me into trying a new med that is in shot form and supposed to really help copd. Probably won't spell it right but will try, Fasemra. Has anyone tried it? For me, the shot which wasn't supposed to hurt hardly at all hurt like heck!! No reaction during the 30 min wait in drs office but next morning I woke up with a bad sore throat, swollen throat, swollen mouth and lips. So my response is no more for me! I also recently started Breztri and it seems to be helping cut down my use of prednisone.
Have a great day.
That certainly sounds like something worth telling your doctor about! I had something similar happen to me along with a rash and it turned out I was allergic to one of the ingredients in one of my shots that I was taking as a medication. Sorry that it didn't end up working for you but, as you said, at least the Breztri is working to help reduce prednisone! I know when I was on high prednisone it just about ruined my whole body! Took me years to get things back under control! Just remember, though, you can always come here to chat, ask questions, or just be around others who know what you are going through! Keep on keepin' on, DPM Question, when you were on prednisone may I ask what side effects you had? My dr worries about that for me but have had none that I know of so far and I was taking prednisone for a few days then off for about a week and right back on it. Didn't worry about side effects as that and my nebulizer are what kept me out of the hospital and alive.
