How Many Believe Some Vaccines Caused Your Pn And/or Heredity Played A Part Into Their Skin Issues Or Even Both?

Tooele, UT

I fully believe mine was a result of the ineffective Zostavax for Shingles, & my mom had some skin issues which 1 was Psoriasis. I believe mine was the ineffective vaccine as it was given after the beginning stages of my Shingles on my left lower back 16 yrs ago. Then almost 1 month to the date of vaccine I experienced the most horrible mosquito bite ever & told by the Derma who administered it barely looked at it & blurted out Eczema which the so-called Eczema spread. When I broke out… read more

Has Anyone Else Gotten Eczema After Using Nemluvio? How Are You Treating The Eczema?

A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Clarksville, TN

Although I had high hopes for Nemluvio, it didn't work for me. Unfortunately, after taking my starter dose and first regular dose of Nemluvio, I now have eczema spots on my body (and itching). I have stopped using the drug. Now, I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the dry eczema spots on my body. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what are you using to treat your eczema?

A MyPrurigoTeam Member

Mine has 're-invented' after healing, then can itch, as well as if it has the white bumps underneath
I now have a new 'thing' that I'm not sure is excema or psoriasis, idk, but it is kind of like an… read more

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
