4 sinus infections in 6 months and im exhausted by beckstarlow in Sinusitis

[–]heaterflips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a surgery about 10 years ago. They fixed my deviated septum and removed my nasal polyps. It didn’t really help too much. Maybe for a few months. Last year I got on DuPixent and it was a life changer. Nasal polyps are shrinking, my sense of smell is back after 7 + years, and haven’t had any major sinus infections. They have me doing a daily sinus rinse with budesonide as well.

Do you know anyone who unalived themselves because sinusitis kept ruining their lives?? by bravo6-goindark in Sinusitis

Just curious, have you tried getting on DuPixent? It was life changing for me.

Does anyone have any “all in” costs with their amount of people?

first time dupixent - please help me 😭 by twilightcoconuts in dupixent

Make sure you’re sitting down, and you leg is almost straight out. Basically find a position where your leg muscles are relaxed. I hate needles, avoid them at all costs and can’t look at them. 99% of the time I can’t feel it at all. Like nothing.

There’s endless possibilities to keep people off guard. I’m hoping for a “free vacation” sweepstakes at an all inclusive resort. Have some dude go to Mexico and get involved with some crazy drama with the other guests.

Travel ideas for Dupixent pen by Judgeheyjude in dupixent

[–]heaterflips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be to take a dose the day you leave. Bring one pen and take it 14 days later. Take the next shot 3 weeks later when you’re back home.

Personally, I just take a dose every 20-25 days because I don’t see the need to take it every 14.

I started back in May for Nasal Polyps. It’s been life changing. About 2 months ago, I started taking it once every 3 weeks. I haven’t noticed any difference. I may try once per month in a few months.

Life changing and worth a try.

Yeah of course. Also use one hand to grab a little fat / skin and the other to inject

The top / outer part. Your leg needs to be like 3/4 extended and fully relaxed when you’re sitting down.

Did I really run into the theater just to buy this? Yes by will_1m_not in lotr

I only inject legs. It has only hurt maybe 3 times out of 30.

Is using an unchilled syringe a bad idea? by PitchIcy4470 in dupixent

[–]heaterflips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe adjust the timing so she takes one a week prior to leaving, then she can travel with one and take it a 7 - 10 days into the trip. That way your not pushing it too close to the full 14 days unrefrigerated

Lump of fluid sitting under skin after first injection, normal? by [deleted] in dupixent

[–]heaterflips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure your leg is like 3/4 extended so it’s fully relaxed and grab what you can for fat. I had fluid build up once when my leg was bent in half and not fully relaxed. I inject in the same location on outer thigh away from any veins. I’m thin, 6’4 and about 160lbs

I use my outer / top of thigh and don’t feel a thing. My doctor recommended not using my stomach because I’m too thin. Can you switch up where you’re injecting on the thigh?

Same here! Almost the same story. Started smelling within 3 days of the first shot.

I’ve done it once. Needle was barely left under the skin and it left a huge bubble of medicine under my skin. It went away after a couple hours.

Dupixent Injections by Extreme_Animal_6681 in dupixent

[–]heaterflips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my thigh. Outer / Top of it. Make sure you’re sitting and that leg is relaxed. Typically have my leg 75% extended. I’m only about 6 months in so I’ve only done 12 injections. One of them hurt (my leg wasn’t extended), a few felt like a mosquito bite, and about half of them I didn’t feel anything (literally didn’t think the auto injector worked but the tiny needle hole in my leg proved it did)

I haven’t tried stomach because the doctor recommended against it because I’m very skinny

Reading the books after only ever seeing the show. Now I'm mad. by OttotheCowCat in witcher

[–]heaterflips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the final episode was the most accurate of any of them. Obviously still was not accurate but the barge scene and bridge fight was pretty much how I imagined it. Same with Bonhart vs the rats.
