Does Everyone Know That The Makers Of Nemluvio WANT You To Have Access To It? I Am Taking It At No Cost For Two Years! Call Your Doctor!

A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Saint Louis, MO

I want to encourage everyone to tell your doctor that you want to try Nemluvio. My insurance won’t cover it because it is so new but they want it made available to PN sufferers
It is insanely expensive — more than $8600 where I get prescriptions. BUT, they did the paperwork at my doctor’s office and I am going to be able to take it for two years at NO charge
It is a monthly injection. I did my second one today. They send it in the mail.
My skin is not clear but it’s better!
Call… read more

A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Titusville, FL

This was the size of a pinhead 3 weeks ago. It’s NOT infected. It’s been covered with a large hydrocolloidal bandage since it emerged. I wiped it with chlorhexidine, dotted with iodine, then covered in clobetasol propionate. Applied the bandage over the wound. With each bandage change, it’s growing, not healing. This is just over an inch long, above my ankle, on my shin. It’s slowly growing under the bandage with steroid cream on it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The early clobetasol treatment was preventing… read more
