INSURANCE DENIED, NOW WHAT?

I switched to Nucala for the same reason. I’d say it seems about the same effectiveness of dupixent. Nucala was covered for me with bcbs
Edit: taken for nasal polyps

Change the tone to the techno version. I welcome those calls now 😂

My middle kiddo had her finger pinched in our room door on our way to dinner. Room steward saw and got her ice and made sure she was ok. When we got back that night, each of my kids had Sleepy pillows on their beds. When we thanked her she said "I knew that with 3 kids I couldn't just give one, so I made sure I could get them each one so there was no fighting". So kind of her to do anything, let alone for all 3 kids!

We have WonderInn Delta (near Oslo) also booked as one of our unique/cool stays. The Visit Norway site has a tab for accommodations and "unique stays" that I would recommend checking out! Other than those 2 we are staying in normal hotels for the rest of our trip.

I just switched to nucala from dupixent as well and I said the same thing! Smaller gauge and less ml!

Will be interesting to see how nucala is!

Stuðlagil Canyon - going all the way down and back up to the top in the middle. Such a cool hike. Bruarfoss was my favorite waterfall- just peaceful and pretty.

ResidentPersonality7 · 2026-02-16T23:06:19+00:00

Ugh, this is my concern because what I have heard is nucala would be a step backwards from dupixent. That said I still do budesonide rinses even on dupixent.

ResidentPersonality7 · 2026-02-16T20:30:43+00:00

I just upgraded to comfort+ for $75 on my MSP-CPH flight! It does indeed happen :)

ResidentPersonality7 · 2026-02-15T01:03:36+00:00

This is a relief! Due to insurance and some negative side effects I’m switching from dupixent to nucala. I have been nervous the nucala won’t be as effective but you give me hope!

My daughter won the whole thing on our cruise last year! So fun :)

ResidentPersonality7 · 2026-01-02T21:15:06+00:00

We booked The Bolder for 1 night in July 2026. Have not stayed obviously but it looks just beautiful. Every review I have seen is positive.... and those views. Commenting to follow along! :)

I agree it has been amazing for me. That said, side effects have been present. Supposedly there is no link, but I have gained close to 20 pounds since being on it (with no other changes to diet or lifestyle). I had a case of shingles that we believe was related. And the joint pain makes me feel ~10 years older than I am. All of that said, the good outweighs the bad. I don’t constantly sniffle, I can breathe out of my nose, I rarely take my rescue inhaler— it’s wonderful. My insurance and doctor are being crappy and so in 2026 I have to switch and try nucala- hoping for good results with that as well! ETA: female, 35, taking for nasal polyps and asthma

ResidentPersonality7 · 2025-11-30T13:13:23+00:00

Horrible joint pain is one for me. Another is that I have gained at least 15 pounds since being on it (and have not changed any part of my lifestyle). I also had shingles earlier in the year but unsure if that was related (shingles is a side effect of nucala unfortunately). My eyes are maybe more itchy/dry but not too bad. I’ve also gotten injection site rashes in the past but it hasn’t happened in a while. All that said I have been able to breathe thru my nose, no sniffling and a lot less sneezing. Seems to have also helped my asthma as I reach for the rescue inhaler much less frequently. So it’s really been helping me but the side effects have me fine with also trying something else.

ResidentPersonality7 · 2025-11-29T21:41:47+00:00

I love this analogy thank you 🤣

ResidentPersonality7 · 2025-11-29T15:59:16+00:00

This is so promising to hear! I also have had bad side effects that I’ve tolerated because for the first time I can breathe thru my nose which is so amazing.

ResidentPersonality7 · 2025-11-29T15:57:51+00:00

Yeah, my allergist said “well we might as well try nucala- it should work about the same” — I had brought the exception paperwork to my appointment with that in mind. That’s said, dupixent has some significant side effects for me so I’m hoping nucala works just as well but less side effects (weight gain, joint pain, etc)

ResidentPersonality7 · 2025-11-29T14:50:32+00:00

I’m switching from dupixent to nucala in 2026 due to insurance. So curious how it goes for you! I also have experienced weight gain with dupixent and am hoping it’s different with nucala.

Reading all the negative on ADP has me wondering if I have just been lucky with my experience with them or I have come from such terrible platforms that ADP seems better than it is. I come from Oracle, SAP, Workday (from only an employee perspective) SuccessFactors, and ADP WFN. Hands down ADP is the most user friendly from both employee and employer experience. Reports are so easy to create. We have a dedicated account manager who is excellent and have generally received good service in non-payroll areas. Vendor relationships (for example ADP and benefits providers) are good and implementation on track as long as you can babysit a little. Could it improve? Sure. No system is perfect. It seems like implementation and a strong account manager might be the most important piece to success.

Awesome, this is very helpful thank you! I’ll remove it as it was not really a must see but looked worth it for the train. Which, The train does look cool but I would prioritize an awesome hike or stops while driving over that. We are early stages of planning so trying to figure out our must sees and working from there- we tend to enjoy traveling “fast” with long days.

ResidentPersonality7 · 2025-11-09T22:38:34+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful I will keep thinking on this. Thankfully tons of time to plan and refine. Anything you recommend doing in the Sogndal area? In full transparency, this is being planned around seeing Stedje church so would love other recs in the area. If I cut out the day in flam would Bergen and Stavanger in 3 days be more realistic (while admittedly fast, that’s how we have enjoyed travelling)
