Thank you for your input. I know everyone reacts differently to meds so I just need to get brave enough to try one of the Biologics and hope I don’t have awful side effects. My other option is to stay on low dose prednisone daily and continue to use my albuterol inhaler as needed.

I am a big believer in them and it is just a matter of what works for you. Keep trying until you find the right one. I REALLY like Fasenra (one shot every eight weeks) but because I have had a lot of viral infections she thinks I should try Teszpire. I have emphysema so need to reduce the amount of infections I get.

I have not had any side effects since I have been on Tezspire. It has been a complete nonissue for me. Prior to being on Tezspire l was Nucala and l had no significant side effects with it. I just the injector pen for Tezspire. It is so easy to inject. When l first went on Nucala l was driving once a month to my pulmonologist office on the North side of Oklahoma City. About a 40 minute drive I heavy traffic. They started me on the Nucala pen to do myself and again no side effects. I know it keeps me out of the hospital.
