Well, I've been taking Brinsupri for one month now. So far, no side effects. I did have some stomach upset for a couple of weeks but I also was having lower GI upset due to some food I ate, so that is kind of perplexing to sort out. Regardless, whatever that episode was is out of the picture now.
On the positive side
1. I consistently feel good (although I did not feel bad, there were days when I just did not feel as well as others)
2. Less sputum, less "blobs" which equals less hard work to get that stuff out
3. Exercise tolerance seems even better. I already did a bike spin class 3 days a week and did well, but the exertion
of doing it seems to have improved even more. I'm curious to see what my PFT shows next time I see
my doctor.
4. Between my insurance and being accepted into "The Assistance Fund" I am paying zero for Brinspri.
Hopefully, all these these positives will not change and I do not develop any side effects later on or end up losing the help with paying for this costly drug because at this point, I consider this drug the best thing to happen for this community so far.
