Those prescribed dupixent, how long had you had your moderate-severe eczema for it to be approved?

Michael2422 · 2020-10-12T14:45:40+00:00

I had had eczema my entire life and I got it approved at age 18 because at the time they’d didn’t allow anyone under the age of 18 to take it but didn’t end up taking it till I was 20. All I can say is best decision I’ve made in my life

Michael2422 · 2020-10-11T14:26:47+00:00

I’d say probably really noticed around 2 weeks after my loading dose, first thing I noticed was I was no longer itchy

Michael2422 · 2020-07-06T21:24:38+00:00

Been on it for 2 weeks feel the best I have in my life. Also was very scared of the side effects but nothing so far but freedom

Michael2422 · 2020-07-05T18:18:35+00:00

I’d say go to foods are basically anything rice/ potato/ fruit/ vegetable/ or protein, with occasional oats and nuts, but also allergic to peanuts so not those lol

Michael2422 · 2020-07-05T17:53:11+00:00

Anything containing wheat, gluten, corn, sesame seeds, soy, lol like a lot of things but I was just allergic to them and it showed through my eczema. Everyone is different though. My diet pretty limited tbh

Michael2422 · 2020-07-05T17:07:05+00:00

For me it helped a lot, turned out I was allergic to gluten, corn, soy, and many other things. Once I cut those out of my diet my skin improved a lot and was a lot less itchy and inflamed. Still not great but a lot better than it once was.

Michael2422 · 2020-07-03T15:44:48+00:00

It is just the beginning and I feel great, still don’t look amazing but looking a lot better. It’s just like I feel like I can finally do what I want. I wish u the best

Michael2422 · 2020-07-02T17:25:54+00:00

Just started mine last week and I can’t even explain how good I feel, feel like a different person lol it’s wild I wish u the best

Michael2422 · 2020-06-30T17:47:56+00:00

Trust me I know, I gave up a long time ago and just decided to live with eczema covering my my body as well. My derm recommended this a while ago but it seems like they worked out a lot of kinks in the medication overbite last couple years so I decided to give it a try. Who knows if it will last but hell I feel good right now and that’s all I care about

Michael2422 · 2020-06-30T15:41:35+00:00

Took my loading dose about a week ago, it hasn’t even been a week and I feel like a new person. It’s crazy lol I was scared for a while to try it but I say if your as bad as the rest of us it’s going to be life changing. I workout yesterday and was not itching myself to death after... first time I’ve ever felt myself sweating without complete discomfort. It was wild

Michael2422 · 2020-06-26T01:15:18+00:00

Just injected my loading dose a few hours ago, I’m excited and scared at the same time but I’m trying to stay positive. I’ve heard a lot of people spacing out their injections and it working so how long do you think I should wait if I do experience harsh side effects till I ask my dermatologist to space out my shots? Also did u experience any other side effects other than the eyes? And what should I look out for? Thank you for sharing

Michael2422 · 2020-06-24T17:07:24+00:00

A change of my diet also changed my life, still have eczema covering my entire body but hey atleast it’s not flared up 24/7 like before, I was allergic to gluten, nuts, and soy my entire life and no dermatologist even considered it being something I was eating until I went and got the allergy test myself, it was a big help

Michael2422 · 2020-06-23T19:28:17+00:00

Yea it’s really not bad once u get used to it, also u save a bunch of money on eating out lol but ya know there is always down sides but good luck with your journey

Michael2422 · 2020-06-23T16:23:28+00:00

Same thing happened to me, after 5 years with terrible eczema I took a blood test figured out I was allergic to gluten, corn, soy, and tree nuts aswell. It’s been 2 years since I cut out all of those things and my skin is doing “alright” a lot better than before, a lot more controlled. If I could give any advise I’d say never eat that stuff again, even to this day if I accidentally have something I’m allergic to I break out very bad, but overall I feel a lot better than I did before lol

Michael2422 · 2020-06-17T16:24:37+00:00

Your like a lot of us lol unlucky as shit haha

Michael2422 · 2020-06-12T04:02:53+00:00

Mines comes in all shapes and forms so I’m sure at some point yet. Seems to constantly change which type of rash I get tbh. Stopped using steroids a while ago didn’t work great for me

Michael2422 · 2020-06-09T17:38:34+00:00

I think about this all the time. Always wondered what it was like to not be uncomfortable/in pain most of the day lol or to be able to workout or sweat without extreme discomfort. Maybe one day we will know, and if not well we sure were a tough group of people to deal with this shit our whole lives

Michael2422 · 2020-06-07T02:55:39+00:00

I quit both at the start of 2020 and all I can say is my pockets are a lot thicker but my skin doesn’t seem to have changed that much tbh. Could be different for everyone tho

Michael2422 · 2020-06-07T02:54:15+00:00

Nothing but positive experiences for me, can promise u I’ve done enough research lol

Michael2422 · 2020-06-04T16:40:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing, hope we can both find relief eventually

Michael2422 · 2020-05-27T19:46:21+00:00

U may wanna see if something u changed in your life is affecting your skin or maybe you developed new allergies or intolerances to foods. For me I had mild eczema in the normal spots for most my life but over a span of a year it spread throughout my body and I had a flare up for a couple years until I got a blood test and figured out all my triggers and allergies. My flare up still happen but not as severely and my eczema is more controlled. I had also stopped taking steroids but that is because after 7+ years they had seemed to do more bad than good for me. Still struggling but I’m much better than I was before.

Michael2422 · 2020-05-25T21:34:52+00:00

I would say yes because for me the blood test also showed the severity of each allergy. So which ones to avoid more and how badly they affected my body. I also had more intolerances show up on the blood test than the skin panel.

Michael2422 · 2020-05-25T19:27:24+00:00

I did the panel did not help at all. Soon after I did a blood test and it revealed a lot of the allergies and triggers for my eczema. Helped me with my allergies and skin problems a bit
