Life long eczema person here, that got way worse under the stresses of adult life. Cracked lips, red face and eyes. At the worst point someone said that it looked like I drove through a rosebush on a motorcycle. Ya, let that sink in. Dupixent healed me 99% with only a small dry spot behind my ear. Life changing drug, unreal.
Thanks for sharing. Dupixent really is the best eczema treatment available today. It’s not perfect, but quite close, especially for those of us who’ve had severe eczema and none of the other treatments could help at all
@@bakkermaarten007 I did in times when the condition would worsen but not constantly over my lifetime. There would be years in between then be on them for a year , etc. I have sparingly used them with the dupixent when I get small flares on my face every once in awhile and managed it that way.
@@JeffreyLin should I try this for my three year son...his skin his eczema is really bad..the creams don't seem to work...should we try this for? Scared of side effects
I want to thank you for making so many of us feel less alone in this journey. It takes a lot of effort to share this kind of stuff, and it's more difficult than anyone could understand unless they experience it themselves. Too many people are dismissive of these problems, thinking it's self-caused or has an easy solution... but that's obviously far from the truth.
I got my first two shots of Dupixent and this medicine is AMAZING. I’m doing so much better and my skin is so soft. I never knew skin could feel so wonderful. I am so happy. I’m smiling and laughing more. I’m just so happy. 🥰
LOVE you Jeffrey. My daughter is doing Dupixent injections for a year now and doing really well. So far she has not experenced with any side effect from it and she's enjoying her life now without eczema flareing up all the time (I was very suffer to see her like that all the time before). We both are nurses working in an acute care hospital. She has eczema since 6 months old and she's 27 years old now. Thank you so much for another wonderful video.
That is fantastic news! So happy to hear your daughter can enjoy her life now. There is another eczema treatment similar to Dupixent that should be approved soon, and it is a PILL, not an injection :) Something you and your daughter can research: www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer_receives_breakthrough_therapy_designation_from_fda_for_pf_04965842_an_oral_jak1_inhibitor_for_the_treatment_of_patients_with_moderate_to_severe_atopic_dermatitis
joshuag94 am so sorry just read your both comments. I fell broke my wrist and had surgery ORIF w plate and screws and was on disability for a while until now just back on computer. No, my daughter never had any side effects from Dupixent. She’s enjoying her life now and so do I. She and entire family been suffered with her since 6 months old until 1 1/2 yrs ago. We were depressed. We are very happy now , but I always worry about the future side effects from long term use.
for the past 17 years, i have been suffering from skin issues. tried all kinds of medications, just 3 weeks ago they said that I have severe eczema. just injected myself dupixent. thank you so much for uploading this video. I do have a question
My daughter is 18 now and has suffered from severe a topic dermatitis her entire life. She’s allergic to everything! Dust is just as bad as her dairy, egg, shellfish and tomato allergy. The list goes on and on. She’s finally approved for dupixent and her loading does starts tomorrow. I really hope she tolerates it and isn’t allergic. I’ve read and watched horror stories about this medication and I’m a little terrified to be honest. So happy you’re getting some relief.
Hi Starr, I’ve gone through everything your daughter has and worse. Dupixent is the only medication that has worked for me after 35 years of testing medications and having them backfire. I think the horror stories of dupixent are overblown as Dupixent is safer than most over-the-counter medications. For most people, Dupixent completely changes their lives so they move on to getting their life back so you won’t hear from them. You’ll only hear from the small number of people who have bad reactions or who do not have the patience to let the medication work. Please watch my first video on Dupixent and what happened to me over my first 10 months: th-cam.com/video/I63OBE7u10k/w-d-xo.html Also watch my latest video and see how much I’ve improved: th-cam.com/video/LGH1qu2LS1Q/w-d-xo.html
@@heymanhaha she’s 22 now and doing amazing! She’s doing so well that she only takes Dupixent every three months. This medication has changed her life.
@starrwalker3746 wow. I'm so happy to hear that!!! I am waiting for my specialist appointment to get dupixent prescribed. Hoping it will help me like it helped your daughter 🙏
Thank you for your story! I have 2 young daughters 6 and 4 with severe eczema. They had it since birth and dupixent is next for my 6 year old while I wait and pray that my younger one doesn’t scratch her skin off while we wait until she turns 6. I wish you the best in your journey and please keep posting your updates! ❤️
Hi, sorry to hear about your daughters. I was born with eczema as well…it’s tough whether as an adult or kid. For your 4-year old, have you tried the eczema oil bath? If not, search my videos for “eczema bath”
@@JeffreyLin no I have not. I have been doing the classic steroid creams, moved on to eucrisa recently but she just cried because it stings and the flare ups are just not getting any better. I tried to cut back the steroids because I felt like her tolerance was growing without getting huge results. Now I mostly been using the eucrisa and steroid here and there to help when the flare ups are really bad. Her legs are scratched up from ankles to knees and her wrists to elbows. I got her belly and back to finally clear out a bit. Face is scratched and super dry. I will look into the bath though. I’ve been trying all types of soaps and baths to keep her skin clean and at least a little less itchy.
I know how miserable it must be for you. My skin so damaged I couldn’t touch water for 10-years but this bathing method allowed me to get back in the water. I started doing this maybe 7-years before Dupixent eas available
@@JeffreyLin also, you mentioned in this video the H1 and H2 antihistamines. We have her on Claritin and sometimes Benadryl. I have not done the research yet. Do you speak about that more in one of your videos? I know you have more options because you can actually have adult doses but you are like a book of knowledge at this moment. My doctors just give us a cream and send us out the door.
@@JeffreyLin that’s awesome!! I will watch your video now and I’ll start bathing her in it too. The fact that you have been living with this horrible skin condition for years. You’re amazing.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have just been prescribed this after 41 years of eczema, asthma, and hay fever. It is fairly new to Australia after only being approved in March 2021. Hopeful it will help clear things up.
Hey Jeffrey, I'm about to begin Dupixent (for atopic derm.) and have been nervous as to how things will go. Most of my treatment has been what feels like experiments with lotions, baths, ointments and pills. In my research on the Dupixent, I found your channel. Your videos have helped to calm my nerves, and now I don't feel so alone going into this. Thank you for sharing your journey. Sending you support from Guahan!! (Guam, USA)
Hi Shanti! Thanks for reaching out and good luck starting Dupixent. I’ve been on it for over 2 years and still seeing improvements right now and doing better than ever. Some people have a slightly rough start and quit. Yes, some people have allergic reactions, but I think most give up too early. If u haven’t seen my first Dupixent video, check it out: th-cam.com/video/I63OBE7u10k/w-d-xo.html
@@JeffreyLin I have seborrheic dermatitis and its effected my quality of life and mental health so much over the years. But seeing individuals like you makes me cry so bad. Seb Derm is only painful to my face and scalp, but having it all over my body such as eczema sufferers would push me to the brink of suicide and I praise you for you're strength and resilience. I do hope we see a cure for this disease in our lifetime. God bless
I have Eczema and I’m 60. I have had this all my life and I understand stand the pain and discomfort that goes with this. My is damaged from so many flares and steroid usage. I’ll start Dupixent On Monday June 14th.
I noticed your skin looks very dry. I layer my medicine. I start with the ointment, followed by Vaseline and lastly Eucerin. I become a grease monkey but it helps my skin. I do this in the morning and at bedtime. Sometimes I’ll do that during the middle of the day. It helps to keep my skin lubricated. It’s a pain but it helps.
My heart goes out to you- I know how debilitating and difficult it is as a fellow sufferer. I'm so happy it is improving and I pray a cure is found for our 'incurable' chronic disease.
Wow, there are a lot of us hyperactive immune response people! Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve struggled for years with serious athsma, had no idea my skin issues were from the same cause. Dupixent changed everything, but only after years of thinking I was just mental. The struggle is real! Stay strong friend, hope you’re finally able to enjoy life again!
90% of all the people suffering immensely are people who like myself over used or mis used TS . Problem is the side effects of which manifest very similar to excema. Minus the burn . Doctors are now finally coming around to TSW.
So I just happened to get asked to work on a small doc on dupixent and hear some testimonials and complete unfortunate coincidence my daughter who was less than 18months old at the time was struggling with eczema and met with a Dr and it's insane how it changed her life and skin. I wanted to avoid using prolonged periods of steroid cream etc. Your story definitely is inspiring, I hope your journey continues to improve (as well as my daughters)
Glad you're doing well on Dupixent. I am waiting for approval by my insurance coverage. I don't have eczema but eosinophilic asthma. Hoping I can start soon without side effects.
Hey Corliss, thanks for your comment. Part of my asthma is eosinophilic. It’s helped quite a bit. Have you tried Xolair or Nucala? Those should work better for asthma. I’ve tried both but had bad reactions (I have 2 Nucala videos th-cam.com/video/SobWlQsAtr8/w-d-xo.html ). If you haven’t, would love for you to subscribe to my channel. It’ll help boost my rankings and help more people with asthma and eczema with my videos.
@@JeffreyLin I am subscribed! I've been following you for about a month! My pulmonologist suggested Dupixent and not the Xolair or Nucala. I guess these are options in case it doesn't work well.
Actually, also write down Benralizumab. Benralizumab and Nucala (mepolizumab) specifically target eosinophilic asthma, but they work via different mechanisms. Sorry, my brain wasn’t working earlier. Xolair is more for IgE related allergies, including asthma. But Xolair could still work for you as reducing IgEs can also reduce eosinophils indirectly. I have not tried Benralizumab but it’s one of the many options I’m considering. Also, try the antihistamine medications I mentioned in the antihistamine video. That can help if your asthma isn’t too severe
Thank you for sharing this. I read an article that told your story and wanted to know more. My 5 month old has eczema and we’re struggling so much. I’m doing a breastfeeding elimination diet to see if eliminating dairy eggs wheat nuts and coconut might improve his situation. He had an anaphylactic reaction to dairy the first time he tried yogurt. I’m so tempted to get him started on dupixent next month when he’s eligible but we’re pretty nervous about the potential side effects. I’m having so much guilt watching him be in pain so frequently and I can’t imagine the guilt and regret I would feel if he had a bad reaction to dupixent or long term side effects. Feeling conflicted and hopeless and overwhelmed. Just want my sweet baby to feel good.
Yess I'm scared of side effects as well..my three year been approved for it but his Father not sure of it, my three year old had ecezma since a baby as well but it seem to have gotten worst over the two years
I’ve had severe eczema since I was 2 yo and been to dermatologists up to the age of 16. During that time (18 years ago) dupixent was still new and not yet approved. They told my mum that we can try it on me but they don’t know what side effects can happen. My mum did not agree. When I was 24/25 I did natural remedies and found ways that would help my skin without the use of steroid creams. I was eczema free for 7-8 years and would only have very mild flare ups that would last a day or two max. Since my 2nd COVID vaccine it’s come back along with my asthma and it’s worst than ever. I’m considering taking dupixent but I don’t want my skin to rely on it forever. My parents are Filipino but I was born and live in Australia. The weird thing is everytime I visit the Philippines or go to a tropical country like Vietnam or Thailand my skin is perfect I don’t need to put any creams on and my eczema is completely gone.
Do you think it's the warmth and humidity in the Philippines that help? And how do you know the vaccine coulda caused the flareup? Because I might be suspecting the same. Just wasn't sure.
I was born with Eczema as well...even by age 4, every day seems like an eternity to survive through. Dupixent should be safe for kids, but without more clinical trials and data, it's still so new...if you can be patient and endure a bit longer, we'll probably know more and have it used in a safer way for kids.
Thanks yo! Are you feeling better? I actually did a perfect injection this time. No pain. I get it right about 90% of the time because I know where my skin is dull and won’t hurt. It always hurts when nurses give me injections.
@@JeffreyLin Yes, I'm doing better! less itching but I do still have a bunch of scarring and some inflammation. As someone who's had it their whole life though (like you) I can stand to be patient haha. My first injection was pretty painful because the doctor forgot to take it out of the fridge for a few hours :\ hopefully it won't be so bad the second time
@@eileenhuang5282 Yeah, I've had ice-cold injections before with Xolair and it felt like sharp needles jabbing me during the whole injection! Dupixent can be out of the fridge for 7 days so tell your doctor to take it out of the fridge earlier! The skin has many layers and takes years to heal, maybe 5+ years for long-term damaged skin like ours. So, yes definitely be patient!
im on methotrexate for my eczema, its been 4 weeks and my skins peeling like mad. I think im going to ask my dermatologists abt Dupixent as im concerned because im peeling like mad
Jeffrey, You are the only other person I’ve ever seen with the severity of ailments like I have in 30 years. . Severe Atopic dermatitis, asthma, and severe allergies to absolutely everything. Environmental, food, animal. Starting my first Dupixebt injection tomorrow. Would really like to link up, and brainstorm what’s worked for either one of us, what hasn’t.. Go over some stuff. Medications, treatments etc. Let me know if you’re interested
Hey, thanks for reaching out! Great to connect with people who understand what I go through. glad you got access to Dupixent. Praying that it works for you! If you have questions, my Facebook and Instagram are in the video description
@@heymanhaha as far as my skin, it did great! Cleared up a lot of my eczema.. but I have an underlying condition called keratoconus with my eyes(believed to be from allergies and eye rubbing) after suffering complications with the keratoconus (corneal hydrops/perforated cornea) after about 2 1/2 years on Dupixent.. my Corneal specialist believes it was essentially melting my corneas. Causing me to need custom scleral contact lenses for my eyes. It’s been quite the journey. If you suffer from underlying eye problems, BEWARE. Dr. Switched me to Adbry as a solution.
Thank you so much for sharing this I just received my medication I’m gonna administer my first dosages today. I’ve had asthma for many years and extreme allergies switch I’ve been at one and off of shots for what eczema really entered my life in the last couple years as I dealt with Losing my husband and father back to back and it sent my stress and inflammatory response and overdrive. I’ve had my eyes swollen, practically fully shut my skin. I’ve had the elephant eyes it’s just been horrible, uncontrollable itching where people might think I’m on drugs. Scratching to the point where I have bruises and blood And patches all over it’s just been horrible. It has gotten in the way of life in general and I work in the medical office during the day so it’s really difficult to deal with people and they’re looking at you like somethings wrong so I am been on prednisone for a while. I’m looking forward to getting off of it and getting balanced out with Dixit. Hopefully I won’t have to stay on too long. Thank you for sharing this very helpful information. God Bless, and I hope that you’re doing well.
I just want to ask, have you stopped taking dupixen now? Did the skin conditions come back worse? Did you need to continue forever? Did you get any withdrawal after stopping? I'm going to start on it soon and I'm worried I'll become dependent on jt.
thanks so much for sharing this info. my eczema is the most severe it's ever been. i'm 42 years old and my doctor has me on Methotrexate NA and plans to prescribe Dupixent if it isn't as effective as she hopes. My father is African-American and my mother is from Thailand. Each time I visit Thailand, my eczema TOTALLY heals, NO eye allergies, NO asthma. I have no idea why this happens but I realize that is where I need to be. Here in the US, my body seems to stay in a state of inflammation. Just curious, if you've ever been to where your parents came from, and if so, have you experienced something similar? Hope you get some relief, this ailment sucks so bad! Thanks again
Hi, great to hear from you. Sorry to hear you’re not doing well but glad you know you do better in Thailand! If you’ve watched my other videos, you’ll know I actually do much better in Europe, especially in Holland. However, it’s not a cure for me to be there since my condition is a complex immune response that also involves asthma and allergies and nervous system inflammation. I’ve heard some people who also do well in Thailand. I think it’s more because of the humidity and maybe less plants or dust that you’re allergic to. My parents are from Taiwan but I get very sick there because of the horrible pollution, pesticides, crop burning, etc. Places like Thailand and Taiwan are also bad for me because the hot humidity actually causes wounds to be infected and the sweat makes my skin worse. The cold humidity in Holland works better for me.
@@JeffreyLin haven't seen any of your other videos. i was searching personal accounts from people who have experienced Dupixent. Thailand is just a wish/fantasy for me. I do want to relocate there but all of my loved ones are in the US. That coupled with the fact that I haven't been able to find suitable work is keeping me here for the time being. I'm not particularly fond of needles either, but I'm just desperate for relief so I'm down to do whatever it takes to improve my condition. Hope you find some relief bro. Again, thanks so much for sharing your experience. Take care and heal up soon!
Hi Jeffrey , servere eczema sufferer here from the UK, 28, Indian. I'm about to start on dupilimab in the next few months after having my 5th staph infection. How are you feeling now with the dupilimab? Are you still on it? Glad I found your videos and channel, ive needed to know im not the only one for a long time.
Hey, did you start Dupixent yet? Yes I'm still using Dupixent and continue to improve every month. Here's a summary I did last year: th-cam.com/video/LGH1qu2LS1Q/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing your journey! I never knew there were others out there like me! I've never had a doctor really give a damn about me and my skin issues! For 8 years, I went in every 6 months for a corticosteroid injection. They said that I couldn't get them more often than that. I suffered in silence mostly, because the doctors shrugged it off as if it were nothing, and I didn't want to look like a wuss. I will start from YOUR beginning video! Thank you so much!!
Your so strong! I’m really interested in trying it, I’ve had excema ever since I was born which has been almost 18 years, hopefully it’s something I could try!
Hi, I’ve had eczema all my life (18 yrs) and since I’ve begun Dupixent, it seems to be working well for me (I think I’ve done about four injections so far). The only concerning thing is that with every testimony about this drug, it seems that people clear up and then it either stops progressing or they get a side effect and end up trying another solution. It’s very disheartening to think that I’ll have to continue injections for who knows how long or resort to hopping from one treatment to another (holistic or otherwise), usually without a cure. Maybe I should be taking this considering that most drugs don’t “cure” but simply help as much as possible. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing and I understand how it feels to live with chronic eczema. It can make daily life complicated and for all of us who just want to be clear and normal, I hope there is something conclusive.
Hey Princy! You’re thinking about this exactly right. Most medications don’t cure. I was born with eczema and other immune illnesses (I’m 36 now), and when I was growing up, dermatology and allergy we’re all very new medical fields. Even a decent treatment like Dupixent was unthinkable. In fact, one of my research doctors was involved with developing Dupixent and he said this thing has been in R&D for almost 30 yrs. I’m just grateful it’s brought me a lot more relief than in the past. I also know medical technology is improving super fast so you’ll definitely have a cure in your lifetime. When I was your age, that seemed impossible. Also, a lot of people “stop improving” on Dupixent because they have other allergy triggers or immune problems they’re not properly avoiding or treating. In online forums and comments, you mostly hear from people who aren’t doing well, so they’re still researching or complaining. For the people who this has “cured”, they’re moving on to repair or start their lives and won’t be complaining it didn’t work.
Jeffrey Lin Thank you for your response! I did an allergy test recently and have very few, obscure allergies, so if the problem with the halt in progression is that, it may not apply to me. I definitely plan to continue Dupixent for a bit, especially since I’m so early in. In that case, if I don’t see results that are too significant after maybe a year or so, what would you recommend I do?
Hey Princy! Did u get a skin-prick or skin patch test for allergies or a blood test measuring IgE levels and eosinophils? Also, are you using any other medication with Dupixent? Any topical skin ointment medications? As I’m sure you know, steroids like prednisone and topical steroids all makes the skin thinner and damages the skin. So people who continue to use steroids makes it harder for Dupixent to continue to heal the skin, but sometimes steroids are necessary. There are many factors to consider. The body is complex!
Jeffrey Lin I got a skin-prick and no I don’t use anything else. Before we came to my current doctor (the one who gave me Dupixent), my dermatologist had me on a myriad of pills, none of which showed drastic effects. I stopped everything a while before Dupixent, including blood builders and multivitamins.
To answer your question original, I would use Dupixent over any other eczema, pill, or treatment. Medically and biologically speaking, Dupixent is the best at targeting eczema and helping the skin heal naturally and have it’s own immune defense. Also, as a “biologic” category medication, it is extremely safe. However, if your skin is fine whether if you use Dupixent or not, then there’s no reason to use it. Dupixent is for severe eczema where no lifestyle change works. Maybe just avoiding your allergies and proper bathing and moisturizing and stress management would clear up your eczema. My rule of thumb is use as little medication as necessary. You can also try an injection every few weeks or months like I do, but there’s no research data on that yet. Xolair is another injection you can try if you have mild or slightly severe eczema.
Thank you for sharing.. i can't even imagine living with this for 30 plus years. my son is 5 and has had horrible eczema his whole life. people say oh he'll grow out of it, it'll get better. and it never does. so i'm finanlly thinking of trying dupixent.
Hi Jeffrey 😊. I prefer my injections on the fatty part of my upper arm. My fiance gives me my injections there. I alternate arms. I have found that the arm injection site is the best! I read a NIH study article regarding the problem of the Dupixent side effect of Eye Conjunctivitis ( I have this troublesome problem also) where a person took it once a month. So, it's good to hear that you are spacing it out too because of your eyes. How are your eyes today? Unfortunately I'm allergic to the popular eye drops for moisture. I'm also allergic to antihistamines. They are Benzene derived. Quercitin powder supplement helps me. Your right, some probiotics can aggravate histamine. I only use D-Lactate Free probiotic powder by Custom Probiotics. I also take 1 MegaSpore probiotic per day. My digestive system has improved by taking these two. It's a slow process, but worth it. I try to stay clear from sugar.😢 The holidays can be a challenge too because there are more treats practically shoved into your face! You feel obligated to eat because of the effort a loved one has put into it. If I splurge a day, I suffer for a very long time. So, I've learned my lesson to just toss them away. We have to take care of our bodies. We've suffered too much. 😢
Hey man, I'm glad to hear that Dupixent has done you good. My wife has atopic dermatitis and we live in Brazil. We are planning to go to the US for treatment with Dupixent. So far she has been using a lot of steroids, but even so the eczema is still very severe. During the weaning period of the corticoid she feels the eyes itch very much and even swell, do you believe that this may be a predisposing factor for her to suffer side effects in the eyes with the use of dupixent? Thank you for your time and for sharing valuable information with those who are facing this struggle. God bless.
Hey Wolf! Thanks for your comment. First, steroids are the most dangerous thing for eczema and will only get worse. Steroids thins the skin and destroys the skin’s immune system. Immunosuppressants are a better option if her eczema is very severe. Or try Protopic ointment. The steroid eye itch should be a different cause than Dupixent eye irritation. Steroid eye irritation is steroids damaging the eye. Dupixent eye irritation is, theoretically, because of eosinophils that are still produced even though Dupixent has healed the skin. The extra eosinophils now cause problems with the eye. If you have more questions, ask me any time. And if you have not, please subscribe. It will help my video reach more people with eczema that are suffering.
@@JeffreyLin She's currently taking high-dose vitamin D treatment, you know? It is a treatment based on the protocol of Coimbra for restoration and maintenance of the immune system. Do you have information on if I can get several doses (for example 4 doses) treatment period) and take it to another country?
@@wolfsaffran3410 If she is doing Vitamin D, make sure she is also getting enough calcium and sunlight! For Dupixent, yes, you can travel with the needles. Need a doctor's note to bring on the airplane. Also need an insulated bag or container that will keep the Dupixent needles cold because the needles need to remain at refrigerator temperature until you use it.
Yup...Protopic, steroid eye ointments like neomycin, or immunosuppressant eyedrops like restasis can help. For steroid and immunosuppressants, don’t use it for more than a month or so.
Thank you for making this video. Subscribed! I'm supposed to start taking this but I'm nervous. I pretty much gave up on all medicine because none of it helps, even allergy immunotherapy didn't help. I'm so glad you said your immune system in not weak but over active, I'm always telling people that...I suffer with nausea alot so I'm going to look into what you said about inflammation in the ears and watch all of your other videos
Hey...Welcome! I'm still on Dupixent now and continue to see improvements every month. Even though my skin has looked and felt clear for a long time now, Dupixent continues to fix my immune system. Dupixent is a "biologic" medication, meaning it's engineered only to fix the eczema problem and shouldn't have many side effects. It's safer than most meds you find at the Pharmacy. It hasn't always been a smooth journey though. There was some skin redness in the beginning ( th-cam.com/video/I63OBE7u10k/w-d-xo.html ) and eye irritation, which has finally gone away after a few years and a reduced dosage (every 6-8 weeks). But I think those are just your body's immune adjusting to being healthy, so as long as you don't have a severe allergic reaction to Dupixent, I suggest sticking with it as long as you can.
@@JeffreyLin thanks for sharing...well I already have irritated and swollen eyes due to allergies so I guess I can deal with that as long as the eczema clears up. You sharing your journey is helpful and I appreciate it!
Thanks for the comment! I've been on dupixent for 5+ years now, eye problems have gone away. It takes a while for the body to get used to the treatment and for your immune to fix itself.
Wow we have a lot of the same health problems. At least as far as eczema and asthma. We have the same exact nebulizer LOL thanks for the update. I’m just finding this video because I’m thinking about getting it.
My son may start dupixent soon. We have not decided. I thought it was interesting you tried probiotics and that made you flare up. I think that may have happened with my 18m old son. I saw on a threat somewhere a guy said he fasted for 3 days and his 40 years of eczema went away. Same thought as the probiotics in that it restarted his gut microbiology. My son is too young to try that though :(.
Hi there. I am 37 years old and have severe eczema and am about to start dupixent. I am currently not taking any other medications as I have been through them all e.g. steroids, anti histamines, tacrolimus and various other topicals, thymopentin injections, BCG injections, doxepin, SSRIs and so on. I have a couple of questions, would it be a good idea to apply steroid eye drops once of twice a week as a preventative measure in order to avoid any ocular side effects from dupixent. What do you think is the best starting dose?
I have question, whenever you inject yourself do you have like a bump where you injected yourself? You should do your stomach because I found that my thigh hurts more than my stomach and I’m pretty good with needles.
Hey Emily! Yes I get a bump at the injection site. There’s a lot of medication! I know many people prefer the stomach but my stomach skin is very sensitive. There are places on my thigh that are very dull and when I do it right, I feel nothing. I didn’t feel anything for this injection...I was just anxious about doing it lol. If you can, please help me out by subscribing! Thanks!
Can I ask you the price of one injection in your country? I am in Korea and will try soon but it's around 900 usd for one. Anyway I am kind of excited now Finally there is a medicine which can cure my 30 yrs eczema desease.
In USA, it costs $1500 usd for 1 injection. I have medical insurance that helps pay for part of it. Good luck with it! Dupixent has been amazing for me. Also, Dupixent inspired a lot of other similar eczema cures to be developed. Those may be available in 2020-2021! So we will have many options
It will be great if the KR government will cover it. A lot of people have eczema and will be much better. Let me know if you have questions after you start the medication.
Hi I know your sharing your experience and not telling anyone what they SHOULD do but here is my question..I have actually been on dupixent almost 5years...I thought the longest you could go was 3 weeks or else doesnt remain in your system..Not sure how going 9 weeks it still works ? I am actually thinking of stopping soon to see how I do but now Im wondering if doctor would advise just going longer between shots. Truthfully latly I feel like I get more reaction right after shot the redness not quite a rash almost like a flat smooth redness under my chin and jaw very strange so Im thinking of stopping but curious if cutting down maybe option. I hope you are doing well and thank you for videos
I don’t think there’s much risk of infections other than maybe with the eye irritation. Most people solve the eye problem with steroids eye drops for 2-4 weeks or Protopic ointment under the eyelids or cyclosporine eyedrops.

Grad that Dupixent change you a better life. I am still feel very sad that until today i couldn’t afford Dupixent for my long life eczema and I still relay on steroid which brought me many side effects 😢
Both allergies and Dupixent. As I’ve mentioned, I have many immune illnesses and eczema is only one. So I’m often reacting to everything in the environment. I’ve tried all the eyedrops but they didn’t work for the first 2 years, which is why I only did injections every 6-8 weeks. But now, the eyedrops are working. Dupixent can take a while for the body to adjust to.
Jeffrey, thanks for sharing! I just started Dupixent and I’m in my second week. Your videos have helped a lot in my research, you gave me some information my doctor wasn’t even aware of! I wish you the best of luck on your health journey!
Hey! Thanks for letting me know! Have you been feeling any improvements? Always good to hear about each person’s individual experience. Keep me us updated on how you do!
If you do the injection in your your stomach it burns less. Also if you use an ice pack before injecting yourself until your skin becomes numb. Then inject yourself you don't feel it nearly as much. Just a couple helpful tips that I got from one of the nurses with one of my other injection medicines.
Hey man, I saw your video on the dupixent. I took it for 2-3 months and didn't see any improvement actually I started to see little bumps pop up. I don't have severe eczema like some stories I've heard. I took topical steroids as needed for 5 years but not much. Then I went to Greece for 2 weeks and all hell broke loose, no topicals were helping I figured it was the chlorine from the pools. And figured the ocean seawater would help, nope. When I lived in Miami for three years I forgot I had any eczema. Anyways it's just not going away on my fingers and comes up in little liquid bubbles and either I pop them or they go away and the skin peels off. They do cause soreness but are never itchy?? I’ve never heard of eczema that isn’t itchy?
@@JeffreyLinI have severe eczema and a couple of years ago i developed a seafood allergy my Ige was at 5800 apparently this is not surprising to Dermatologist,i know how horrific this condition is. There's no other word but horrific.Im on Dupixent now and its helped heaps..
bp have you checked your IgE levels after being on Dupixent? My IgE used to be 23,000 and now it’s down to about 3,000 after being on Dupixent for 2 years.
@@JeffreyLin no i haven't. To be honest i'm not sure if im on dupixent i'm taking part in a medical trail and im getting an injection every 2 weeks and im taking 2 oral tablets every day,the tablets are from pfitzer i know theirs a new oral drug their trailing but being a trail im not sure whats the placebo? But one of them is definitely working...
I just started taking dupixent. Today was the first day. While on dupixent, did you still have to apply steroid creams such as clobetasol or tacromilus or did you stop those completely?
Hey Billy, sorry for the late reply. I still use ointments and creams from time to time when I have reactions to the environment or food, but you should be able to eventually phase that out. Dupixent heals fast, but also has a long term therapeutic effect...i still continue to improve everyday.
@@JeffreyLin Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I missed the loading phase. I only had 2 injections so far, December 10th and the 24th. So on the 7th of January, I'll be doing the loading phase with both injections, doctor says it's okay
No worries. I actually think the recommended 2-week injections is too Much for some People to start with. So monitor how you feel and give your doctor feedback.
Great to hear from another longtime Dupixent user! How are you doing? Wanted my mom to do it for me but she’s more squeamish than I am. Hurts less than damaged skin and cracks so I just think of that and that makes it easier.
@@JeffreyLin I'm doing great! Skin doing great no flare ups! When I started dupixent I saw the results within 2 weeks. I'm so happy my eczema been cleared and asthma doing pretty well.
You are injecting at the wrong angle and you definitely don't need to put a plaster on the site. I've been injecting Dupilumab for just about a year. Never use plasters, which cause allergic reactions, and do not use wipes before. You should be injecting at a 45 degree angle.
Hi Jeffrey have you tried acupuncture with chinese medicine intake? they helped me alot. i have eczema more than 10yrs and this helps me. maybe you should give it a try.
buddy, i am just like you and im 30.. its so hard...., i've done chemo(romothepsin), methatraxate, prednisone, photophresis, interferon but none worked yet we can beat this bastard
Hi Hamid, sorry I missed this message. Complex immune illnesses like ours are difficult to identify what's the REAL cause, and so it's hard to know which medication targets that REAL cause. If you haven't seen this, here's all the medicaitons I'm using right now and I'm doing the best in my 36 years: th-cam.com/video/txNbJdROVuk/w-d-xo.html
Hey Trace, for the first six or so months, I’d get a few large hive “bumps” for an hour or two total. It would happen randomly a few days after each injection. Given how much healing and change Dupixent is doing to your skin, there will be times where your skin seems “unstable.”
How do you do with dental work? Do you have a lot of teeth issues ? Do you react to dental work, tooth paste, floss, cavity fillings? I have a lot of issues with them and it’s really difficult
Good question. I’ve actually been quite lucky and have strong teeth, which only got bad after taking the immunosuppresant Cyclosporine. But I barely brushed my teeth for 10 years while my skin was highly reactive to water, and my hands and palm skin were full of blisters that I couldn’t hold my toothbrush anyway. To be able to use my hands, I used to bandage my hands, then wear cotton gloves, then a layer of baseball gloves on the outside. However, my face would always be in pain and leak with the brushing motion stretched the skin of my face and cheeks.
I am due to start Dupixent soon. This video is the first that I've seen someone as allergic as myself.... To literally everything. Honestly I really don't want to do it. Have you ever tried a vegan diet and taking herbs? It worked well for me medically but not financially.
...since I’m allergic to literally everything, that includes vegan stuff. My safest foods are beef and potatoes so I stick with that. I’m also allergic to herbs so that doesn’t work.
I might be going on dupixent in the coming months. Worst part of my eczema is not the appearance but the unrest from itchiness and lack of sleep. Looking so forward to going on this drug. But do you have to be on it for life or will your body eventually reboot itself?
Good luck man, keep me posted. Since Dupixent is new, no one knows for sure. If you're desperate enough to try Dupixent, you probably have a severe case and shots every few weeks or every few months isn't a big deal compared to the discomfort and loss of life quality. For me, my overall health, not just eczema, has continued to improve 1302 days since my first shot. By healing your skin, dupixent does give your body a chance to heal, but it's unclear if that lasts, but you might be able to get to a better condition where over-the-counter meds like antihistamines will be enough. P.S. love wordpress...used it since 2003.
Well, for me and many people, the eye irritation and skin redness is a phase as the immune system adjusts to the medication. Also, I don’t think the 2-week injection dose is right for everyone, so if you adjust that, your side effect could be mild or have no side effects at all. But, if you have better options, you should try those first.
I can just about guarantee that you have a mast cell condition! You are already doing to simple treatment for it: H1, H2, and and most like to add Singulair. Have they ever done a trial of continuous benadryl drip? (IV?) To see how that effected your symptoms?
@@JeffreyLin I hear you. Our bodies are so complex! I have a multitude of illnesses and disorders and genetic conditions, when you start layering stuff, it all becomes more difficult to treat.
I know it is hard. I was born with severe eczema and had it everyday of my life, and it got worse for 27 years. You’ll only have a chance if you keep fighting and be patient. There are other versions of Dupixent that will be available in 2-3 years. Those could be cheaper and possible to get. Before then, try these other medications I used before I could get Dupixent: th-cam.com/video/m8h5OO0WdjY/w-d-xo.html
Well, people are desperate and find reasons to keep using it hoping eventually the bad reactions will pass. And for some medications, that’s true that you need a trial period.

Life long eczema person here, that got way worse under the stresses of adult life. Cracked lips, red face and eyes. At the worst point someone said that it looked like I drove through a rosebush on a motorcycle. Ya, let that sink in. Dupixent healed me 99% with only a small dry spot behind my ear. Life changing drug, unreal.
Thanks for sharing. Dupixent really is the best eczema treatment available today. It’s not perfect, but quite close, especially for those of us who’ve had severe eczema and none of the other treatments could help at all
Have you used topical ateroids for a long time prior to Dupixent? I'm curious if TS use would affect the results of Dupixent.
@@bakkermaarten007 I did in times when the condition would worsen but not constantly over my lifetime. There would be years in between then be on them for a year , etc. I have sparingly used them with the dupixent when I get small flares on my face every once in awhile and managed it that way.
@@JeffreyLin should I try this for my three year son...his skin his eczema is really bad..the creams don't seem to work...should we try this for? Scared of side effects
@bakkermaarten007 dupixant has change its instructions .

I want to thank you for making so many of us feel less alone in this journey. It takes a lot of effort to share this kind of stuff, and it's more difficult than anyone could understand unless they experience it themselves. Too many people are dismissive of these problems, thinking it's self-caused or has an easy solution... but that's obviously far from the truth.
Thank for the message Corey!
I got my first two shots of Dupixent and this medicine is AMAZING. I’m doing so much better and my skin is so soft. I never knew skin could feel so wonderful. I am so happy. I’m smiling and laughing more. I’m just so happy. 🥰
did u get bad effects?
How are you doing now my friend?
LOVE you Jeffrey. My daughter is doing Dupixent injections for a year now and doing really well. So far she has not experenced with any side effect from it and she's enjoying her life now without eczema flareing up all the time (I was very suffer to see her like that all the time before). We both are nurses working in an acute care hospital. She has eczema since 6 months old and she's 27 years old now. Thank you so much for another wonderful video.
That is fantastic news! So happy to hear your daughter can enjoy her life now. There is another eczema treatment similar to Dupixent that should be approved soon, and it is a PILL, not an injection :) Something you and your daughter can research: www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer_receives_breakthrough_therapy_designation_from_fda_for_pf_04965842_an_oral_jak1_inhibitor_for_the_treatment_of_patients_with_moderate_to_severe_atopic_dermatitis
Does your daughter have any side effects?
joshuag94 am so sorry just read your both comments. I fell broke my wrist and had surgery ORIF w plate and screws and was on disability for a while until now just back on computer. No, my daughter never had any side effects from Dupixent. She’s enjoying her life now and so do I. She and entire family been suffered with her since 6 months old until 1 1/2 yrs ago. We were depressed. We are very happy now , but I always worry about the future side effects from long term use.
How's your daughter doing now? She's still on dupixent?
for the past 17 years, i have been suffering from skin issues. tried all kinds of medications, just 3 weeks ago they said that I have severe eczema. just injected myself dupixent. thank you so much for uploading this video. I do have a question
How are you doing now?
My daughter is 18 now and has suffered from severe a topic dermatitis her entire life. She’s allergic to everything! Dust is just as bad as her dairy, egg, shellfish and tomato allergy. The list goes on and on. She’s finally approved for dupixent and her loading does starts tomorrow. I really hope she tolerates it and isn’t allergic. I’ve read and watched horror stories about this medication and I’m a little terrified to be honest. So happy you’re getting some relief.
Hi Starr, I’ve gone through everything your daughter has and worse. Dupixent is the only medication that has worked for me after 35 years of testing medications and having them backfire. I think the horror stories of dupixent are overblown as Dupixent is safer than most over-the-counter medications. For most people, Dupixent completely changes their lives so they move on to getting their life back so you won’t hear from them. You’ll only hear from the small number of people who have bad reactions or who do not have the patience to let the medication work. Please watch my first video on Dupixent and what happened to me over my first 10 months: th-cam.com/video/I63OBE7u10k/w-d-xo.html
Also watch my latest video and see how much I’ve improved: th-cam.com/video/LGH1qu2LS1Q/w-d-xo.html
How's your daughter doing now?
@@heymanhaha she’s 22 now and doing amazing! She’s doing so well that she only takes Dupixent every three months. This medication has changed her life.
@starrwalker3746 wow. I'm so happy to hear that!!! I am waiting for my specialist appointment to get dupixent prescribed. Hoping it will help me like it helped your daughter 🙏
@@heymanhaha praying for approval from your specialist.
Thank you for your story! I have 2 young daughters 6 and 4 with severe eczema. They had it since birth and dupixent is next for my 6 year old while I wait and pray that my younger one doesn’t scratch her skin off while we wait until she turns 6. I wish you the best in your journey and please keep posting your updates! ❤️
Hi, sorry to hear about your daughters. I was born with eczema as well…it’s tough whether as an adult or kid. For your 4-year old, have you tried the eczema oil bath? If not, search my videos for “eczema bath”
@@JeffreyLin no I have not. I have been doing the classic steroid creams, moved on to eucrisa recently but she just cried because it stings and the flare ups are just not getting any better. I tried to cut back the steroids because I felt like her tolerance was growing without getting huge results. Now I mostly been using the eucrisa and steroid here and there to help when the flare ups are really bad. Her legs are scratched up from ankles to knees and her wrists to elbows. I got her belly and back to finally clear out a bit. Face is scratched and super dry. I will look into the bath though. I’ve been trying all types of soaps and baths to keep her skin clean and at least a little less itchy.
I know how miserable it must be for you. My skin so damaged I couldn’t touch water for 10-years but this bathing method allowed me to get back in the water. I started doing this maybe 7-years before Dupixent eas available
@@JeffreyLin also, you mentioned in this video the H1 and H2 antihistamines. We have her on Claritin and sometimes Benadryl. I have not done the research yet. Do you speak about that more in one of your videos? I know you have more options because you can actually have adult doses but you are like a book of knowledge at this moment. My doctors just give us a cream and send us out the door.
@@JeffreyLin that’s awesome!! I will watch your video now and I’ll start bathing her in it too. The fact that you have been living with this horrible skin condition for years. You’re amazing.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have just been prescribed this after 41 years of eczema, asthma, and hay fever. It is fairly new to Australia after only being approved in March 2021. Hopeful it will help clear things up.
I’ve been on it for 4 years now and continue to improve every month. If you have questions let me know
Hey Jeffrey, I'm about to begin Dupixent (for atopic derm.) and have been nervous as to how things will go. Most of my treatment has been what feels like experiments with lotions, baths, ointments and pills. In my research on the Dupixent, I found your channel. Your videos have helped to calm my nerves, and now I don't feel so alone going into this. Thank you for sharing your journey. Sending you support from Guahan!! (Guam, USA)
Hi Shanti! Thanks for reaching out and good luck starting Dupixent. I’ve been on it for over 2 years and still seeing improvements right now and doing better than ever. Some people have a slightly rough start and quit. Yes, some people have allergic reactions, but I think most give up too early. If u haven’t seen my first Dupixent video, check it out: th-cam.com/video/I63OBE7u10k/w-d-xo.html
Decanter you do an update? How is your skin now
Guam homie, how you doing under dupixent now?
My heart goes out to you bro, stay strong
Thanks man!
@@JeffreyLin I have seborrheic dermatitis and its effected my quality of life and mental health so much over the years. But seeing individuals like you makes me cry so bad. Seb Derm is only painful to my face and scalp, but having it all over my body such as eczema sufferers would push me to the brink of suicide and I praise you for you're strength and resilience. I do hope we see a cure for this disease in our lifetime. God bless
I totally understand. I have several videos talking about how I deal with my multiple conditions. Maybe some will help you.
I feel bad saying this but it's nice knowing I'm not the only person with eczema. I hope you're doing well man. ❤️
I have Eczema and I’m 60. I have had
this all my life and I understand stand the pain and discomfort that goes with this. My is damaged from so many flares and steroid usage. I’ll start Dupixent On Monday June 14th.
I noticed your skin looks very dry. I layer my medicine. I start with the ointment, followed by Vaseline and lastly Eucerin. I become a grease monkey but it helps my skin. I do this in the morning and at bedtime. Sometimes I’ll do that during the middle of the day. It helps to keep my skin lubricated. It’s a pain but it helps.
Good luck! Let me know if you have questions. I’m still on Dupixent after 4-years and continue to improve every month
Thanks for the tips. I have a custom eczema bath that works great: th-cam.com/video/bh0CDjswAG0/w-d-xo.html
How are you doing now ?
My heart goes out to you- I know how debilitating and difficult it is as a fellow sufferer. I'm so happy it is improving and I pray a cure is found for our 'incurable' chronic disease.
Wow, there are a lot of us hyperactive immune response people! Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve struggled for years with serious athsma, had no idea my skin issues were from the same cause. Dupixent changed everything, but only after years of thinking I was just mental. The struggle is real! Stay strong friend, hope you’re finally able to enjoy life again!
90% of all the people suffering immensely are people who like myself over used or mis used TS . Problem is the side effects of which manifest very similar to excema. Minus the burn . Doctors are now finally coming around to TSW.

How are you doing now Shannon? Still on dupixent?
So I just happened to get asked to work on a small doc on dupixent and hear some testimonials and complete unfortunate coincidence my daughter who was less than 18months old at the time was struggling with eczema and met with a Dr and it's insane how it changed her life and skin.
I wanted to avoid using prolonged periods of steroid cream etc.
Your story definitely is inspiring, I hope your journey continues to improve (as well as my daughters)
Glad you're doing well on Dupixent. I am waiting for approval by my insurance coverage. I don't have eczema but eosinophilic asthma. Hoping I can start soon without side effects.
Hey Corliss, thanks for your comment. Part of my asthma is eosinophilic. It’s helped quite a bit. Have you tried Xolair or Nucala? Those should work better for asthma. I’ve tried both but had bad reactions (I have 2 Nucala videos th-cam.com/video/SobWlQsAtr8/w-d-xo.html ). If you haven’t, would love for you to subscribe to my channel. It’ll help boost my rankings and help more people with asthma and eczema with my videos.
@@JeffreyLin I am subscribed! I've been following you for about a month! My pulmonologist suggested Dupixent and not the Xolair or Nucala. I guess these are options in case it doesn't work well.
Actually, also write down Benralizumab. Benralizumab and Nucala (mepolizumab) specifically target eosinophilic asthma, but they work via different mechanisms. Sorry, my brain wasn’t working earlier. Xolair is more for IgE related allergies, including asthma. But Xolair could still work for you as reducing IgEs can also reduce eosinophils indirectly. I have not tried Benralizumab but it’s one of the many options I’m considering. Also, try the antihistamine medications I mentioned in the antihistamine video. That can help if your asthma isn’t too severe
@@JeffreyLin I am presently on Allegra D and Dymista spray.
Corliss Yamasaki u can add generic Zyrtec and Pepcid to that and just see what happens. They’re both safe over-the-counter.
Thank you for sharing this. I read an article that told your story and wanted to know more. My 5 month old has eczema and we’re struggling so much. I’m doing a breastfeeding elimination diet to see if eliminating dairy eggs wheat nuts and coconut might improve his situation. He had an anaphylactic reaction to dairy the first time he tried yogurt. I’m so tempted to get him started on dupixent next month when he’s eligible but we’re pretty nervous about the potential side effects. I’m having so much guilt watching him be in pain so frequently and I can’t imagine the guilt and regret I would feel if he had a bad reaction to dupixent or long term side effects. Feeling conflicted and hopeless and overwhelmed. Just want my sweet baby to feel good.
Yess I'm scared of side effects as well..my three year been approved for it but his Father not sure of it, my three year old had ecezma since a baby as well but it seem to have gotten worst over the two years
I’ve had severe eczema since I was 2 yo and been to dermatologists up to the age of 16. During that time (18 years ago) dupixent was still new and not yet approved. They told my mum that we can try it on me but they don’t know what side effects can happen. My mum did not agree.
When I was 24/25 I did natural remedies and found ways that would help my skin without the use of steroid creams. I was eczema free for 7-8 years and would only have very mild flare ups that would last a day or two max.
Since my 2nd COVID vaccine it’s come back along with my asthma and it’s worst than ever. I’m considering taking dupixent but I don’t want my skin to rely on it forever.
My parents are Filipino but I was born and live in Australia. The weird thing is everytime I visit the Philippines or go to a tropical country like Vietnam or Thailand my skin is perfect I don’t need to put any creams on and my eczema is completely gone.
What natural remedies where you using if you remember?
Do you think it's the warmth and humidity in the Philippines that help?
And how do you know the vaccine coulda caused the flareup? Because I might be suspecting the same. Just wasn't sure.
My 4 year old has had eczema all her life, I'm praying for dupixent to be approved soon for kids!
All the best to you and for your eczema journey!
I was born with Eczema as well...even by age 4, every day seems like an eternity to survive through. Dupixent should be safe for kids, but without more clinical trials and data, it's still so new...if you can be patient and endure a bit longer, we'll probably know more and have it used in a safer way for kids.
Thanks for the update and good work doing the injection by yourself haha! I have my second dose tomorrow :)
Thanks yo! Are you feeling better? I actually did a perfect injection this time. No pain. I get it right about 90% of the time because I know where my skin is dull and won’t hurt. It always hurts when nurses give me injections.
@@JeffreyLin Yes, I'm doing better! less itching but I do still have a bunch of scarring and some inflammation. As someone who's had it their whole life though (like you) I can stand to be patient haha. My first injection was pretty painful because the doctor forgot to take it out of the fridge for a few hours :\ hopefully it won't be so bad the second time
@@eileenhuang5282 Yeah, I've had ice-cold injections before with Xolair and it felt like sharp needles jabbing me during the whole injection! Dupixent can be out of the fridge for 7 days so tell your doctor to take it out of the fridge earlier! The skin has many layers and takes years to heal, maybe 5+ years for long-term damaged skin like ours. So, yes definitely be patient!
im on methotrexate for my eczema, its been 4 weeks and my skins peeling like mad. I think im going to ask my dermatologists abt Dupixent as im concerned because im peeling like mad
Jeffrey, You are the only other person I’ve ever seen with the severity of ailments like I have in 30 years. . Severe Atopic dermatitis, asthma, and severe allergies to absolutely everything. Environmental, food, animal. Starting my first Dupixebt injection tomorrow. Would really like to link up, and brainstorm what’s worked for either one of us, what hasn’t.. Go over some stuff. Medications, treatments etc. Let me know if you’re interested
Hey, thanks for reaching out! Great to connect with people who understand what I go through. glad you got access to Dupixent. Praying that it works for you! If you have questions, my Facebook and Instagram are in the video description
How has dupixent worked for you ?
@@heymanhaha as far as my skin, it did great! Cleared up a lot of my eczema.. but I have an underlying condition called keratoconus with my eyes(believed to be from allergies and eye rubbing) after suffering complications with the keratoconus (corneal hydrops/perforated cornea) after about 2 1/2 years on Dupixent.. my Corneal specialist believes it was essentially melting my corneas. Causing me to need custom scleral contact lenses for my eyes. It’s been quite the journey. If you suffer from underlying eye problems, BEWARE. Dr. Switched me to Adbry as a solution.
You poor thing! I'm glad you're doing better! I'm looking into this for my 14 year old daughter. I'm nervous for her.
My daughter does dupxient every 2 weeks. She is so happy to be on it. It's amazing!
Thanks so much for sharing. I have been struggling with Eczema for 10 years now and hoping to get on Dupixent soon. This video was very informative.
Thank you so much for sharing this I just received my medication I’m gonna administer my first dosages today. I’ve had asthma for many years and extreme allergies switch I’ve been at one and off of shots for what eczema really entered my life in the last couple years as I dealt with Losing my husband and father back to back and it sent my stress and inflammatory response and overdrive. I’ve had my eyes swollen, practically fully shut my skin. I’ve had the elephant eyes it’s just been horrible, uncontrollable itching where people might think I’m on drugs. Scratching to the point where I have bruises and blood And patches all over it’s just been horrible. It has gotten in the way of life in general and I work in the medical office during the day so it’s really difficult to deal with people and they’re looking at you like somethings wrong so I am been on prednisone for a while. I’m looking forward to getting off of it and getting balanced out with Dixit. Hopefully I won’t have to stay on too long. Thank you for sharing this very helpful information. God Bless, and I hope that you’re doing well.
I just want to ask, have you stopped taking dupixen now? Did the skin conditions come back worse? Did you need to continue forever? Did you get any withdrawal after stopping?
I'm going to start on it soon and I'm worried I'll become dependent on jt.
thanks so much for sharing this info. my eczema is the most severe it's ever been. i'm 42 years old and my doctor has me on Methotrexate NA and plans to prescribe Dupixent if it isn't as effective as she hopes. My father is African-American and my mother is from Thailand. Each time I visit Thailand, my eczema TOTALLY heals, NO eye allergies, NO asthma. I have no idea why this happens but I realize that is where I need to be. Here in the US, my body seems to stay in a state of inflammation. Just curious, if you've ever been to where your parents came from, and if so, have you experienced something similar? Hope you get some relief, this ailment sucks so bad! Thanks again
Hi, great to hear from you. Sorry to hear you’re not doing well but glad you know you do better in Thailand! If you’ve watched my other videos, you’ll know I actually do much better in Europe, especially in Holland. However, it’s not a cure for me to be there since my condition is a complex immune response that also involves asthma and allergies and nervous system inflammation. I’ve heard some people who also do well in Thailand. I think it’s more because of the humidity and maybe less plants or dust that you’re allergic to. My parents are from Taiwan but I get very sick there because of the horrible pollution, pesticides, crop burning, etc. Places like Thailand and Taiwan are also bad for me because the hot humidity actually causes wounds to be infected and the sweat makes my skin worse. The cold humidity in Holland works better for me.
@@JeffreyLin haven't seen any of your other videos. i was searching personal accounts from people who have experienced Dupixent. Thailand is just a wish/fantasy for me. I do want to relocate there but all of my loved ones are in the US. That coupled with the fact that I haven't been able to find suitable work is keeping me here for the time being. I'm not particularly fond of needles either, but I'm just desperate for relief so I'm down to do whatever it takes to improve my condition. Hope you find some relief bro. Again, thanks so much for sharing your experience. Take care and heal up soon!
Hi Jeffrey , servere eczema sufferer here from the UK, 28, Indian. I'm about to start on dupilimab in the next few months after having my 5th staph infection. How are you feeling now with the dupilimab? Are you still on it? Glad I found your videos and channel, ive needed to know im not the only one for a long time.
Hey, did you start Dupixent yet? Yes I'm still using Dupixent and continue to improve every month. Here's a summary I did last year: th-cam.com/video/LGH1qu2LS1Q/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing your journey! I never knew there were others out there like me! I've never had a doctor really give a damn about me and my skin issues! For 8 years, I went in every 6 months for a corticosteroid injection. They said that I couldn't get them more often than that. I suffered in silence mostly, because the doctors shrugged it off as if it were nothing, and I didn't want to look like a wuss. I will start from YOUR beginning video! Thank you so much!!
Your so strong! I’m really interested in trying it, I’ve had excema ever since I was born which has been almost 18 years, hopefully it’s something I could try!
Hey Hailey, did you get to try Dupixent yet?
Hi, I’ve had eczema all my life (18 yrs) and since I’ve begun Dupixent, it seems to be working well for me (I think I’ve done about four injections so far). The only concerning thing is that with every testimony about this drug, it seems that people clear up and then it either stops progressing or they get a side effect and end up trying another solution. It’s very disheartening to think that I’ll have to continue injections for who knows how long or resort to hopping from one treatment to another (holistic or otherwise), usually without a cure. Maybe I should be taking this considering that most drugs don’t “cure” but simply help as much as possible. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing and I understand how it feels to live with chronic eczema. It can make daily life complicated and for all of us who just want to be clear and normal, I hope there is something conclusive.
Hey Princy! You’re thinking about this exactly right. Most medications don’t cure. I was born with eczema and other immune illnesses (I’m 36 now), and when I was growing up, dermatology and allergy we’re all very new medical fields. Even a decent treatment like Dupixent was unthinkable. In fact, one of my research doctors was involved with developing Dupixent and he said this thing has been in R&D for almost 30 yrs. I’m just grateful it’s brought me a lot more relief than in the past. I also know medical technology is improving super fast so you’ll definitely have a cure in your lifetime. When I was your age, that seemed impossible. Also, a lot of people “stop improving” on Dupixent because they have other allergy triggers or immune problems they’re not properly avoiding or treating. In online forums and comments, you mostly hear from people who aren’t doing well, so they’re still researching or complaining. For the people who this has “cured”, they’re moving on to repair or start their lives and won’t be complaining it didn’t work.
Jeffrey Lin Thank you for your response! I did an allergy test recently and have very few, obscure allergies, so if the problem with the halt in progression is that, it may not apply to me. I definitely plan to continue Dupixent for a bit, especially since I’m so early in. In that case, if I don’t see results that are too significant after maybe a year or so, what would you recommend I do?
Hey Princy! Did u get a skin-prick or skin patch test for allergies or a blood test measuring IgE levels and eosinophils? Also, are you using any other medication with Dupixent? Any topical skin ointment medications? As I’m sure you know, steroids like prednisone and topical steroids all makes the skin thinner and damages the skin. So people who continue to use steroids makes it harder for Dupixent to continue to heal the skin, but sometimes steroids are necessary. There are many factors to consider. The body is complex!
Jeffrey Lin I got a skin-prick and no I don’t use anything else. Before we came to my current doctor (the one who gave me Dupixent), my dermatologist had me on a myriad of pills, none of which showed drastic effects. I stopped everything a while before Dupixent, including blood builders and multivitamins.
To answer your question original, I would use Dupixent over any other eczema, pill, or treatment. Medically and biologically speaking, Dupixent is the best at targeting eczema and helping the skin heal naturally and have it’s own immune defense. Also, as a “biologic” category medication, it is extremely safe. However, if your skin is fine whether if you use Dupixent or not, then there’s no reason to use it. Dupixent is for severe eczema where no lifestyle change works. Maybe just avoiding your allergies and proper bathing and moisturizing and stress management would clear up your eczema. My rule of thumb is use as little medication as necessary. You can also try an injection every few weeks or months like I do, but there’s no research data on that yet. Xolair is another injection you can try if you have mild or slightly severe eczema.
wishing you a speedy recovery. God bless
Thanks!!!
Hope you compltely cured soon. I also know well how its painful.
Thanks! Hi, sorry I missed this comment. Great to connect with others who have similar experiences. We're all in this battle together.
Thank you for sharing.. i can't even imagine living with this for 30 plus years. my son is 5 and has had horrible eczema his whole life. people say oh he'll grow out of it, it'll get better. and it never does. so i'm finanlly thinking of trying dupixent.
Hi Jeffrey 😊. I prefer my injections on the fatty part of my upper arm. My fiance gives me my injections there. I alternate arms. I have found that the arm injection site is the best! I read a NIH study article regarding the problem of the Dupixent side effect of Eye Conjunctivitis ( I have this troublesome problem also) where a person took it once a month. So, it's good to hear that you are spacing it out too because of your eyes. How are your eyes today? Unfortunately I'm allergic to the popular eye drops for moisture. I'm also allergic to antihistamines. They are Benzene derived. Quercitin powder supplement helps me. Your right, some probiotics can aggravate histamine. I only use D-Lactate Free probiotic powder by Custom Probiotics. I also take 1 MegaSpore probiotic per day. My digestive system has improved by taking these two. It's a slow process, but worth it. I try to stay clear from sugar.😢 The holidays can be a challenge too because there are more treats practically shoved into your face! You feel obligated to eat because of the effort a loved one has put into it. If I splurge a day, I suffer for a very long time. So, I've learned my lesson to just toss them away. We have to take care of our bodies. We've suffered too much. 😢
Thank you for making these videos! So informational.
And you seem like a really nice, genuine person. I’ve subscribed ☺️
Thanks Lily! Glad to help
Hello Did it hurt your joints?
Hey man, I'm glad to hear that Dupixent has done you good. My wife has atopic dermatitis and we live in Brazil. We are planning to go to the US for treatment with Dupixent. So far she has been using a lot of steroids, but even so the eczema is still very severe. During the weaning period of the corticoid she feels the eyes itch very much and even swell, do you believe that this may be a predisposing factor for her to suffer side effects in the eyes with the use of dupixent?
Thank you for your time and for sharing valuable information with those who are facing this struggle.
God bless.
Hey Wolf! Thanks for your comment. First, steroids are the most dangerous thing for eczema and will only get worse. Steroids thins the skin and destroys the skin’s immune system. Immunosuppressants are a better option if her eczema is very severe. Or try Protopic ointment. The steroid eye itch should be a different cause than Dupixent eye irritation. Steroid eye irritation is steroids damaging the eye. Dupixent eye irritation is, theoretically, because of eosinophils that are still produced even though Dupixent has healed the skin. The extra eosinophils now cause problems with the eye. If you have more questions, ask me any time.
And if you have not, please subscribe. It will help my video reach more people with eczema that are suffering.
@@JeffreyLin She's currently taking high-dose vitamin D treatment, you know? It is a treatment based on the protocol of Coimbra for restoration and maintenance of the immune system.
Do you have information on if I can get several doses (for example 4 doses) treatment period) and take it to another country?
@@wolfsaffran3410 If she is doing Vitamin D, make sure she is also getting enough calcium and sunlight!
For Dupixent, yes, you can travel with the needles. Need a doctor's note to bring on the airplane. Also need an insulated bag or container that will keep the Dupixent needles cold because the needles need to remain at refrigerator temperature until you use it.
Try pro topic on the eyes.This helped me out a lot with Eye itch as well as weeping
Yup...Protopic, steroid eye ointments like neomycin, or immunosuppressant eyedrops like restasis can help. For steroid and immunosuppressants, don’t use it for more than a month or so.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, you are helping out a lot of people, hope you find a long lasting relieve!
Thanks! I’m doing much better now and continue to improve with Dupixent
Stay strong and thanks for making these videos.
Thanks for the support!
Thank you more information bring update for us and hope you getting well 💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for making this video. Subscribed! I'm supposed to start taking this but I'm nervous. I pretty much gave up on all medicine because none of it helps, even allergy immunotherapy didn't help. I'm so glad you said your immune system in not weak but over active, I'm always telling people that...I suffer with nausea alot so I'm going to look into what you said about inflammation in the ears and watch all of your other videos
Hey...Welcome! I'm still on Dupixent now and continue to see improvements every month. Even though my skin has looked and felt clear for a long time now, Dupixent continues to fix my immune system. Dupixent is a "biologic" medication, meaning it's engineered only to fix the eczema problem and shouldn't have many side effects. It's safer than most meds you find at the Pharmacy. It hasn't always been a smooth journey though. There was some skin redness in the beginning ( th-cam.com/video/I63OBE7u10k/w-d-xo.html ) and eye irritation, which has finally gone away after a few years and a reduced dosage (every 6-8 weeks). But I think those are just your body's immune adjusting to being healthy, so as long as you don't have a severe allergic reaction to Dupixent, I suggest sticking with it as long as you can.
@@JeffreyLin thanks for sharing...well I already have irritated and swollen eyes due to allergies so I guess I can deal with that as long as the eczema clears up. You sharing your journey is helpful and I appreciate it!
I Am very proud of you! I use Dupixent for asthma and it is working well. Some eye side effects.
Thanks for the comment! I've been on dupixent for 5+ years now, eye problems have gone away. It takes a while for the body to get used to the treatment and for your immune to fix itself.
Wow we have a lot of the same health problems. At least as far as eczema and asthma. We have the same exact nebulizer LOL thanks for the update. I’m just finding this video because I’m thinking about getting it.
Thank you for sharing your story. This gives me hope and give so much helpful information ❤
My son may start dupixent soon. We have not decided. I thought it was interesting you tried probiotics and that made you flare up. I think that may have happened with my 18m old son.
I saw on a threat somewhere a guy said he fasted for 3 days and his 40 years of eczema went away. Same thought as the probiotics in that it restarted his gut microbiology. My son is too young to try that though :(.
Hey! I just got on the drug and was wondering, have you experienced any weight gain?
Hope u re doing okay!
Hi just saw this today any update what happened now?
Hi there. I am 37 years old and have severe eczema and am about to start dupixent. I am currently not taking any other medications as I have been through them all e.g. steroids, anti histamines, tacrolimus and various other topicals, thymopentin injections, BCG injections, doxepin, SSRIs and so on. I have a couple of questions, would it be a good idea to apply steroid eye drops once of twice a week as a preventative measure in order to avoid any ocular side effects from dupixent. What do you think is the best starting dose?
I have question, whenever you inject yourself do you have like a bump where you injected yourself? You should do your stomach because I found that my thigh hurts more than my stomach and I’m pretty good with needles.
Hey Emily! Yes I get a bump at the injection site. There’s a lot of medication! I know many people prefer the stomach but my stomach skin is very sensitive. There are places on my thigh that are very dull and when I do it right, I feel nothing. I didn’t feel anything for this injection...I was just anxious about doing it lol. If you can, please help me out by subscribing! Thanks!
Also avoid processed cooking oils. Stick to Olive or Avocado oil 👍🏿
Can I ask you the price of one injection in your country? I am in Korea and will try soon but it's around 900 usd for one.
Anyway I am kind of excited now
Finally there is a medicine which can cure my 30 yrs eczema desease.
In USA, it costs $1500 usd for 1 injection. I have medical insurance that helps pay for part of it.
Good luck with it! Dupixent has been amazing for me. Also, Dupixent inspired a lot of other similar eczema cures to be developed. Those may be available in 2020-2021! So we will have many options
Thanks for your answer. It is underconsideration for covering by insurance im KR government. hope it will be done soon.
It will be great if the KR government will cover it. A lot of people have eczema and will be much better. Let me know if you have questions after you start the medication.
Just started my first dose today. Thank God it is free here in the UK with NHS but had to wait about 5-6 months
Great to hear is now available in the UK. A lot of people in UK have told me it’s hard to get. Good luck! Feel free to message me with any questions
Hi I know your sharing your experience and not telling anyone what they SHOULD do but here is my question..I have actually been on dupixent almost 5years...I thought the longest you could go was 3 weeks or else doesnt remain in your system..Not sure how going 9 weeks it still works ? I am actually thinking of stopping soon to see how I do but now Im wondering if doctor would advise just going longer between shots. Truthfully latly I feel like I get more reaction right after shot the redness not quite a rash almost like a flat smooth redness under my chin and jaw very strange so Im thinking of stopping but curious if cutting down maybe option. I hope you are doing well and thank you for videos
Which pharmacy you use it because i heard every pharmacy has different price
Good job, Jeffrey!! No side effects for me, after 3 weeks. Yaaaaay! Caught a cold and on antibiotics. Hope I'll notice an improvement soon.
Hey! That’s great to hear Corliss! Keep me posted. Yeah I’ve been fighting the flu too :(
@@JeffreyLin I was told to be careful of infections so I've been extra vigilant. Hope you'll feel better soon!
I don’t think there’s much risk of infections other than maybe with the eye irritation. Most people solve the eye problem with steroids eye drops for 2-4 weeks or Protopic ointment under the eyelids or cyclosporine eyedrops.
I don’t think there’s much risk of infections other than maybe with the eye irritation. Most people solve the eye problem with steroids eye drops for 2-4 weeks or Protopic ointment under the eyelids or cyclosporine eyedrops.
Just wondering how can anyone afford this prescription. It’s 4k.
Grad that Dupixent change you a better life. I am still feel very sad that until today i couldn’t afford Dupixent for my long life eczema and I still relay on steroid which brought me many side effects 😢
I appreciate your upload. I do get allergiceyes from the Dupixent.
Thanks for sharing.Your eyes look so swollen. Is that the dupixent or allergies? If allergies, have you tried eye drops?
Both allergies and Dupixent. As I’ve mentioned, I have many immune illnesses and eczema is only one. So I’m often reacting to everything in the environment. I’ve tried all the eyedrops but they didn’t work for the first 2 years, which is why I only did injections every 6-8 weeks. But now, the eyedrops are working. Dupixent can take a while for the body to adjust to.
Thanks for the duxipent informations.
Thanks for the support! Still prefer the JAK inhibitor...pills means no needles!
Jeffrey, thanks for sharing! I just started Dupixent and I’m in my second week. Your videos have helped a lot in my research, you gave me some information my doctor wasn’t even aware of!
I wish you the best of luck on your health journey!
Hey! Thanks for letting me know! Have you been feeling any improvements? Always good to hear about each person’s individual experience. Keep me us updated on how you do!
If you do the injection in your your stomach it burns less. Also if you use an ice pack before injecting yourself until your skin becomes numb. Then inject yourself you don't feel it nearly as much. Just a couple helpful tips that I got from one of the nurses with one of my other injection medicines.
Hey man, I saw your video on the dupixent. I took it for 2-3 months and didn't see any improvement actually I started to see little bumps pop up. I don't have severe eczema like some stories I've heard. I took topical steroids as needed for 5 years but not much. Then I went to Greece for 2 weeks and all hell broke loose, no topicals were helping I figured it was the chlorine from the pools. And figured the ocean seawater would help, nope. When I lived in Miami for three years I forgot I had any eczema. Anyways it's just not going away on my fingers and comes up in little liquid bubbles and either I pop them or they go away and the skin peels off. They do cause soreness but are never itchy?? I’ve never heard of eczema that isn’t itchy?
This guy is great! Thank you
Hope dupixent is available in the uk. Need sorting out
it is
Thank you for sharing your journey ❤ 👏
Try anti fungal cream or black seed oil internally for your skin problem.
Hi Jeffrey praying for you mate from Australia.
Thanks mate! I need as many prayers as I can get!
@@JeffreyLinI have severe eczema and a couple of years ago i developed a seafood allergy my Ige was at 5800 apparently this is not surprising to Dermatologist,i know how horrific this condition is. There's no other word but horrific.Im on Dupixent now and its helped heaps..
bp have you checked your IgE levels after being on Dupixent? My IgE used to be 23,000 and now it’s down to about 3,000 after being on Dupixent for 2 years.
@@JeffreyLin no i haven't. To be honest i'm not sure if im on dupixent i'm taking part in a medical trail and im getting an injection every 2 weeks and im taking 2 oral tablets every day,the tablets are from pfitzer i know theirs a new oral drug their trailing but being a trail im not sure whats the placebo? But one of them is definitely working...
Ah ok. Glad the trail is working! Let us know when you find out what it is 😂. I’m sure a lot of people would be interested in anything that works well
I just started taking dupixent. Today was the first day. While on dupixent, did you still have to apply steroid creams such as clobetasol or tacromilus or did you stop those completely?
Hey Billy, sorry for the late reply. I still use ointments and creams from time to time when I have reactions to the environment or food, but you should be able to eventually phase that out. Dupixent heals fast, but also has a long term therapeutic effect...i still continue to improve everyday.
@@JeffreyLin Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I missed the loading phase. I only had 2 injections so far, December 10th and the 24th. So on the 7th of January, I'll be doing the loading phase with both injections, doctor says it's okay
No worries. I actually think the recommended 2-week injections is too
Much for some People to start with. So monitor how you feel and give your doctor feedback.
How much per dose
Could you take dupixent for Alopecia ?
Hey, sorry I don’t know.
you brave i have to get my mom tongive me the shot.I been on dupixent for 2 yesrs
Great to hear from another longtime Dupixent user! How are you doing? Wanted my mom to do it for me but she’s more squeamish than I am. Hurts less than damaged skin and cracks so I just think of that and that makes it easier.
@@JeffreyLin I'm doing great! Skin doing great no flare ups! When I started dupixent I saw the results within 2 weeks. I'm so happy my eczema been cleared and asthma doing pretty well.
That’s so awesome! Best news I’ve heard all day. Hope u get some much needed rest and get to do stuff u couldn’t do before.
@@JeffreyLin Thanks! When Corona goes away I'm going to a swimming pool!
Great idea! Felt great the first time I got back in the pool
Great vid!
You are injecting at the wrong angle and you definitely don't need to put a plaster on the site. I've been injecting Dupilumab for just about a year. Never use plasters, which cause allergic reactions, and do not use wipes before. You should be injecting at a 45 degree angle.
Thanks. I’ve been injecting Dupixent for 3 years now and doing great.
Hi Jeffrey have you tried acupuncture with chinese medicine intake? they helped me alot. i have eczema more than 10yrs and this helps me. maybe you should give it a try.
What Chinese medicin, ginseng root?
How long we have to take dupixent injunction?
Not sure yet. Dupixent is a new treatment. Only been in use for 4-years after FDA approval
I have atopic dermatitis
buddy, i am just like you and im 30.. its so hard...., i've done chemo(romothepsin), methatraxate, prednisone, photophresis, interferon but none worked yet
we can beat this bastard
Hi Hamid, sorry I missed this message. Complex immune illnesses like ours are difficult to identify what's the REAL cause, and so it's hard to know which medication targets that REAL cause. If you haven't seen this, here's all the medicaitons I'm using right now and I'm doing the best in my 36 years: th-cam.com/video/txNbJdROVuk/w-d-xo.html
Do u ever get boils form dupixent
Hey Trace, for the first six or so months, I’d get a few large hive “bumps” for an hour or two total. It would happen randomly a few days after each injection. Given how much healing and change Dupixent is doing to your skin, there will be times where your skin seems “unstable.”
How do you do with dental work? Do you have a lot of teeth issues ? Do you react to dental work, tooth paste, floss, cavity fillings?
I have a lot of issues with them and it’s really difficult
Good question. I’ve actually been quite lucky and have strong teeth, which only got bad after taking the immunosuppresant Cyclosporine. But I barely brushed my teeth for 10 years while my skin was highly reactive to water, and my hands and palm skin were full of blisters that I couldn’t hold my toothbrush anyway. To be able to use my hands, I used to bandage my hands, then wear cotton gloves, then a layer of baseball gloves on the outside. However, my face would always be in pain and leak with the brushing motion stretched the skin of my face and cheeks.
Jeffrey Lin so have you never had to get a cavity filled?
Yes, I believe I have 2 done
I had to stop using toothpaste, and I use coconut oil to brush my teeth and that solved that problem
Very cool. Eczema is the worst
I am due to start Dupixent soon. This video is the first that I've seen someone as allergic as myself.... To literally everything. Honestly I really don't want to do it. Have you ever tried a vegan diet and taking herbs? It worked well for me medically but not financially.
...since I’m allergic to literally everything, that includes vegan stuff. My safest foods are beef and potatoes so I stick with that. I’m also allergic to herbs so that doesn’t work.
I might be going on dupixent in the coming months. Worst part of my eczema is not the appearance but the unrest from itchiness and lack of sleep. Looking so forward to going on this drug. But do you have to be on it for life or will your body eventually reboot itself?
Good luck man, keep me posted. Since Dupixent is new, no one knows for sure. If you're desperate enough to try Dupixent, you probably have a severe case and shots every few weeks or every few months isn't a big deal compared to the discomfort and loss of life quality. For me, my overall health, not just eczema, has continued to improve 1302 days since my first shot. By healing your skin, dupixent does give your body a chance to heal, but it's unclear if that lasts, but you might be able to get to a better condition where over-the-counter meds like antihistamines will be enough. P.S. love wordpress...used it since 2003.
I've been researching. In afraid of the side effects. Eye herpes, oral herpes, genial herpes..... its scary. I have eoe, athsma, mild psoriasis
Well, for me and many people, the eye irritation and skin redness is a phase as the immune system adjusts to the medication. Also, I don’t think the 2-week injection dose is right for everyone, so if you adjust that, your side effect could be mild or have no side effects at all. But, if you have better options, you should try those first.
Look up the Medical Medium’s book called “Cleanse to Heal”. I just started it and I truly believe this is what is gonna work:) try it👍🏼
I’ve started doing medical medium as well, I’m trying to avoid the dupi but if I can’t then I’m gonna have to do it

@@JeffreyLin So happy for you brother. I'm starting dupixent tomorrow morning. Nervous but hopeful. I'm not severe but I'm bad in select areas
Inject in your abdominal muscle ... that’s how I do my dupinex injections and blood thinners
Thanks. I’ve gotten very used to injecting my thighs. Don’t even feel it anymore.
Do you have anymore eye problems from Dupixent? What helped you?
Brave man ❤
Update
I can just about guarantee that you have a mast cell condition! You are already doing to simple treatment for it: H1, H2, and and most like to add Singulair.
Have they ever done a trial of continuous benadryl drip? (IV?) To see how that effected your symptoms?
MCAS is only a small part of my overall immune condition. It’s not my main problem.
@@JeffreyLin I hear you. Our bodies are so complex! I have a multitude of illnesses and disorders and genetic conditions, when you start layering stuff, it all becomes more difficult to treat.
Yup. It gets exponentially out of control
i live in malaysia. this thing is so expensive. i cant afford this hmm. i really hope i can die soon cause this will only solve this prob
I know it is hard. I was born with severe eczema and had it everyday of my life, and it got worse for 27 years. You’ll only have a chance if you keep fighting and be patient. There are other versions of Dupixent that will be available in 2-3 years. Those could be cheaper and possible to get. Before then, try these other medications I used before I could get Dupixent: th-cam.com/video/m8h5OO0WdjY/w-d-xo.html

@@JeffreyLinI watched all your videos you are my inspiration
Thanks man!
Seriously, how stupid are people that you have to tell them not to take your medication if they are allergic to it?
Well, people are desperate and find reasons to keep using it hoping eventually the bad reactions will pass. And for some medications, that’s true that you need a trial period.
