Are Any Of You Receiving Dupixent Shots For Your Disease?

A MyPrurigoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Kilmarnock, VA

Are any of you receiving Dupixent shots for your disease? I also have Bullous Pemphigoid and am taking Dapsone (after months of Prednisone). I did receive approval from my insurance for taking the Dupixent for the PN I have. However I am awaiting approval from the maker for financial relief. I am curious if any of you are taking the Dupixent shots. Thanks.

Yes I started my first 2 dose February 23rd. And it’s now March 3rd And my face and body has improved a lot with the help of steroid pills to calm the rash and inflammation and opzlaura cream for the face and Benadryl ..to help sleep .. I use CeraVe itch cream at night and Eucerin repair cream during the day. So far no itches … but the pain I felt when the nodules were forming was the same pain when they were dissolving and going away. The pain the stinging .. the intense itch. Finally I can breath!

Hope everyone finds relief soon. This disease sucks a bag of dicks !

Been on Dupixent for over 3 years. At first every other week but then my dermatologist upped it to once a week. Have had severe dry eyes from the Dupixent - using Restasis for that.
My insurance company just approved it again - after the last 12 month approval expired. Truly the only thing that has helped a little bit. Still need Desonide cream & Protopic ointment

I’ve been taking Dupixent injections for over 2 years. They have helped a bit - but definitely does not clear up all of the nodules & doesn’t stop new nodules from appearing

Yes am I’m on about 6-7 injections & maybe has prevented more nodules but what I have are so miserable, hoping Dupexent will eventually help.
Not great on anything big pharma but at my age not much to hurt at this point
Do as much natural as I can, I use coconut oil with jojoba oil & recently started using black seed oil on skin & ordered some to take internally.
God Bless all those suffering from this Terrible debilitating condition.
