Has anyone else dealt with anxiety as a side effect? I've been feeling a bit on edge lately, and I'm not sure if it's the medication or just the stress of managing this condition.
I've been on Veletri for about a year now, and while it has significantly improved my breathing, the side effects can be tough. I've experienced some flushing and jaw pain, but my doctor adjusted the dosage, and it's been much more manageable.
I wish they could make this stuff a pill or something. Dealing with an IV all the time is a major pain.
Flushing is definitely a common one. I find that dressing in layers helps me manage the temperature changes.
Flu-like symptoms sound rough. I had them with another medicine and hated it.
I’ve been on Veletri for a while, and while most side effects were mild, I had a really scary experience with shortness of breath. Turns out it was a sign of fluid buildup in my lungs, so definitely worth a trip to the ER. Now I'm extra careful about monitoring my fluid intake and keeping a close eye on any changes.
