Started Nucala

Posted by snoots @snoots, Dec 15, 2025

I started Nucala a month ago, it’s an injection once a month. Has anyone else taken the monthly shots, how did they help?

@hank82 hi I got my first shot of nucals a week ago and I was totally tired the next day seen it’s a side affect, have you felt improvements , I read it can take weeks to months to notice any improvement

Well i was weak after the first couple shots however now I am not tired, and it seems to be helping and feeling better. I have Emphysema and get pneumonia about every 6 weeks and my new Doctor is really great, and I have not had Pneumonia in a long while. I know every one is different and I am a male 83 years old.

I’ve never notice Nucala making me weak or tired. The one thing I did notice is it has improved my O2 saturation rates—at rest and even at altitude.

I am also a VERY rare COPD person who had the zostervax and 2 shingrix vaccines but still got shingles from Nucala. (Fortunately it was diagnosed and treatment either antiviral began 36 hours after 1st symptoms so it never left any scars and no symptoms 72 hours after I started treating either antiviral.

I hope everyone has great success either way their Nucala. For anyone on Medicare B, be sure Nucala is coded correctly as Medicare B Medical and then whatever to cover any portion not covered. They had to correct the coding for me so it wasn’t rejected.

I get pneumonia about every 6 weeks and now it has been longer .My doc sends me med when my spit up green stuff and it starts out cleat and goes to light green and Doc sent some anti bionics which will make it clear again. this is new so will see how it works Nucala really works Gibby
