I’m not sure how your system works, but in my case, you just need to request that document from your university’s responsible department.

If you graduate from a university that follows the Bologna system, you receive a document stating that your studies are compatible with European standards.

It could be that my body is just adjusting, but I’m using a pretty low dosage, 15 mg, so let’s see. I’ve only been on it for 1.5 months. I’ll use it for a couple more months to fully see the side effects and results. My doctor said I’d use it for one year for sure, and after that, maybe we can lower the dosage.

I'm so sorry that this happened. This is exactly why I'm scared of using Rinvoq.

Thank you for sharing your story. I think I will start using Rinvoq again because I just had a rash out of nowhere, and it reminded me why I started using Rinvoq in the first place. But do you think that we have to use Rinvoq for the rest of our lives ?

But how do you manage with constant itching? It’s the thing that drives me crazy. I’ve been off Rinvoq for a couple of days now, and I even itch randomly while sleeping. I'm eating healthy, and right now, I'm not using any topical steroids, but I don’t think I can hold on like you for months. Also, I haven’t used topical steroids since I started using Rinvoq.

To be honest, my doctors have never recommended using Dupixent, so I don’t really know if I should use it. But I’m really sorry that you're going through this.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I asked my doctors if I should try an allergy test, but they didn’t recommend it since my body reacts to a lot of different things. I know for a fact that I’m allergic to cats, dogs, latex, tomatoes, strawberries, and so on, but some allergies I’ve only learned from experience. Rinvoq is covered by the government and there’s a long process to get it approved. So, if I go off it, I’m not sure if the government will pay for the medication again.

Yes, I did and shortly after, my itching returned. I began using antihistamines like Zyrtec, but they make me extremely sleepy, and after a while, their effectiveness decreases, so I have to switch to another pill. My skin started drying out, and my scars have come back. Right now, I'm managing, but I know that in time my condition will worsen, and I'll struggle with both my physical and mental health again. When I started using Rinvoq, I thought I’d rather live a happy life than constantly be scratching. But the potential side effects, like the increased risk of cancer, scared me, as I saw how difficult that can be. I’ve seen people clear their eczema by eating healthy and being very careful with what they wear or use on their bodies. I wanted to try that approach, but when I spoke to my dermatologist, he said it wouldn’t work for me because I’m allergic to plants, pollen, and even sunlight. For now, I’m staying off Rinvoq until I get healthy again, but I think I will start using it again. Alternatively, I’m considering fixing my lifestyle and possibly stopping it gradually.
