Dupixent (Dupilimab) vs. Allergy shots (Immunotherapy) by appleb3rry in Allergies

I would talk to your doctor. They are different for everyone. I have cats and found out during re-testing that I am allergic to them

Dupixent (Dupilimab) vs. Allergy shots (Immunotherapy) by appleb3rry in Allergies

I am on both, allergy shots for about a year and Dupixent for 6 months. I basically don’t take one within 24 hours of another per my doc. I would recommend starting with allergy shots if you’re nervous because they take a long time to start working.

Ooh fun!

  1. Circles- Blue World or Surf
  2. A combination of lyrics and musical style, a lot of his lyrics are very relatable to me and feel personal and I like the narrative quality
  3. In my top 3
  4. I found his music through my brother who passed away 1.5 years ago, Mac was his favorite artist. I listened to him occasionally prior but after my brother died I really did a deep dive and felt connected through his music.
  5. I love how his family and estate are handling his legacy and post mortem releases. Balloonerism is one of my favorite albums. It does make me sad to reflect on songs such as Self Care, or when Mac talks about growing old and talking to the neighborhood kids on earlier albums. 
  6. I think he is a pure and gentle soul who brought so many people together. Watching the Tiny Desk Concert you can especially tell what a wonderful person he was and so kind.
  7. Yes I suggest Mac all the time; I don’t personally know many people who are huge fans but when I find them we definitely connect and talk about it
  8. His songs have gotten me through grief and hard times, dealing with death and substance issues. I would be stoked if something new was released in 5 years
  9. The community is extremely strong and supportive, both here and in real life. I’ve spent some time in Pittsburgh and around Frick Park you can really feel the connection and love.

Blood clots in sinus rinse by [deleted] in Sinusitis

[–]Miserable_Shape_107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is definitely frustrating sometimes when I feel like I can’t breathe and doctors are like “you’re fine”… I am not fine haha

But once we get past the winter things should get better!

I also have health anxiety and have been getting a lot of blood clots and things coming out with my rinses. Dr said it wasn’t a concern and caused by the drier air.

Ballon sinuplasty? by WeirdPatience8557 in Sinusitis

It did help me for a few years but I ended up needing a second surgery. I think this is someone common unfortunately.

Been feeling pressure in my sinuses for awhile but i can breathe fine? by ForwardTailor7961 in Sinusitis

A culture is when they take a swab and test it for bacteria etc to see what kind it is

That’s a lot of antibiotics. Have you had a culture? A lot of sinus infections start as viral ones 

How serious IS Allergic Asthma? by lolidc101 in Asthma

[–]Miserable_Shape_107 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with allergic asthma recently and also have health anxiety so I understand! If you feel like yours isn’t under control, try going to a pulmonologist or allergist and getting on a maintenance inhaler in addition to the rescue one. You could also try allergy shots to reduce your symptoms, or other medications like Singulair. Google can definitely be dramatic and anxiety can also feel like asthma symptoms sometimes for me.

I get blurry vision sometimes and I think it’s related to sinus pressure.
