Okay has anyone had a side effect where it feels like you need to pee and even after you pee its still persistent and uncomfortable.. i know this is a common sign of a uti but there has been nothing that has changed in my life that would cause a uti aside from me starting this medication! Anyone else?
Hello! We are thinking about using Dupixent for my 7-year-old who has chronic eczema. If you have any experience with this medication, please share your story. I want to make sure this is the right option.
I got my first injection yesterday and today I’m absolutely freezing and exhausted anyone else have this issue?
hi everyone! i have extremely low pain tolerance and ive never done any injections other than vaccines or like blood draw. i have an extreme needle phobia, i get dizzy and weak. im getting my loading dose soon and my mom is supposed to be the one that will give it to me. I AM SO SCARED, ive seen all the vids, read thru so many posts, and it's obvious this won't be easy. you all are so very strong, i just want to say u got this, and keep going! does anyone have any tips for making this less painless? i know about taking it out the fridge overnight and taking it in the stomach. i have the auto-pen, and am able to switch if i want to after the loading dose. im SO ANXIOUSS that i feel like not even going :'') PLEASE HELP MEEE <33 THANK YOUU
With the removal of the Dupixent debit card and the copay card reduced to $200, I had to pay $4k for one Dupixent shot.
I had it charged 100% to my card without the copay card being used. I submitted the information for reimbursement to patient rebate online and they are only reimbursing me for $200- even though my copay card was not run. The $4k was applied to my deductible but I was expecting a full reimbursement.
What do I do?!?
This whole thing is so messed up.
My 4.5yo son has pretty severe eczema, has had it since birth basically (started as “severe baby acne” then turned into severe eczema). He’s always itchy in the common problem areas: hands, feet, inside of elbows, back of knees. He’s often got swollen eyes that are red, dry, and itchy. We’ve tried just about every natural way to curb the flare-ups and none of them worked for us. We’ve been using triamcinolone daily for… years. This season his eczema and allergies have been the worst we’ve ever seen. He cries at night from his eyes “burning” and itching, and he will wake up in the middle of the night asking for a cold compress. Our allergist and dermatologist both suggested Dupixent.
He gets his first shot in two weeks. I’m excited but I’m also so so worried. His eyes are a problem all the time. I feel that the most common side effect I’m seeing is eye related. Our son will be taking a 300mg shot every 4 weeks.
If your child is on Dupixent I would so appreciate you sharing anything about your experience. I’m having major mom guilt about putting him on this medication because I’d hate for it to cause him any other harm (and many (adults) posts saying the shot hurts?!). Thank you in advance to anyone who’s willing to share. 🤍
Hi guys, just sharing. That currently I'm on my 2nd month of dupixent but I'm still using steroid creams to calm down certain areas which still have redness and itchiness. Is this still considered normal ? So far I have taken 5 shots in total.
Hello!
I just started taking Dupixent (just took my second round).
I am currently taking it due to idiopathic anaphylaxis and while it has helped that, I have had horrible side effects.
I feel like incompetent. I feel like people are speaking to me and I can’t comprehend what they’re saying, My tongue feels numb and I can’t really taste, I’m exhausted, my face is breaking out horribly bad (it usually never does), I feel extremely bloated almost like I’ve gained a ton of weight.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does it get better?
Been on Dupixent since October of last year. It has helped tremendously, from no open wounds, no skin infections, and almost no itch. Although this is true, my skin still has red patches that are a little itchy and are a bother to me cosmetic wise. Like the itch is gone but the…. inflammation is still there? My doctor has given me Dupixent plus steroids for flare ups but I’m not comfortable using that anymore due to hypopigmentation. Protopic I also use but it only works for my face.
Has anyone been on Dupixent AND methotrexate together and how has your experience been?
If not, who is on another medication besides a cream that uses it with Dupixent?
My 4 year old son will get his first dose of Dupixent next week. We go to a clinic for the first time, and maybe for a few times after but eventually we'll need to be able to do it at home. It's for EoE, so every 2 weeks.
I went with the syringe since I had heard it's less painful.
I will take all the tips I can get to help with what I expect will be a full on tantrum! The buzzer thing, does it really help? Numbing cream? Also, how long did it take for your younger kids to get more cooperative?
