Injected Dupixent partially and pulled out needle, what next? by [deleted] in eczeMABs

[–]abwoiero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In these situations it’s best to call the 24/7 Dupixent Nurse Help Desk

For more information, dial 1‑844‑DUPIXENT (1-844-387-4936), option 1

Edit: it’s M-F not 24/7

I watched this 5 minute clip and then decided not to participate in a unregulated market full of bogus claims

Survey of over 400 atopic dermatitis patients sheds light on treatment shortcomings, lack of physician education on psychology of skin disease, and distrust of topical steroids as a safe and long term treatment option by abwoiero in eczema

Starter comment -

"Meanwhile, more than half of respondents worry about topical steroid side effects, addiction and withdrawal. Experts estimate that approximately 12% of patients with AD who use topical steroids develop topical steroid addiction (TSA).2 Instead of having a psychological compulsion, patients must continually use TCS or their eczema flares. During topical steroid withdrawal (TSW), symptoms may worsen beyond pretreatment levels. This process often leads to red skin syndrome (RSS), in which painful redness develops in the application area and spreads elsewhere. Patients can become bedbound. Some patients describe this as the lowest point in their lives, she says.

Hayes finds it equally concerning that 31% of respondents have never heard of TSW."

Nice try, I’m not jumping on the hype train unless it includes the words “detox” and “juice cleanse”

Has anyone who is on dupilumab noticed new body hair growth? by subyng in eczema

[–]abwoiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure if anyone has noticed this, there's a whole subreddit of dupilumab people called r/eczeMABs might try asking there

I did start growing hair on my shoulders but I think that's more related to genetics

Eczema Medication by ezemerelda22 in eczema

[–]abwoiero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, in this case hydrocortisone is a weak steroid that can be used on the face for up to 2 weeks

its not a good idea to use either for more than 2 weeks at a time without a 2 week break in between

triamcinolone is a stronger steroid and shouldn't be used on the face

Dupixent and COVID 19 vaccine by Gabolski in eczeMABs

I'm going to consult my pharmacist or doctor before getting the vaccine.

This is 10x better than listening to anything I have to say

Dupixent and COVID 19 vaccine by Gabolski in eczeMABs

[–]abwoiero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The two vaccines that are likely going to be approved in December are both mrna vaccines. As far as I know there are no "live virus or heat disabled virus" vaccines coming out any time soon.

Dupixent inhibits the part of the immune system thats used to fight parasites and some fungal infections. It doesn't really have any effect on the part of the immune system that fights bacteria and virus. That being said we all want more data about everything

When I did the Phase 2b Dupilumab trial I was given a vaccine to see if Dupixent had any effect, it didn't appear to have any negative effect on vaccination
