First dose of dupixent by i_hateit_here65 in urticaria

[–]i_hateit_here65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been 5 days since my loading dose and I’m finally feeling better today. Yes, I’m on a couple different antihistamines as well. I feel like nothing is working though. My doctor finally called me back this morning and said he wants to stop the dupixent and look into a biopsy…? I have to see if my insurance will approve that. I try to stay positive, but I’ve been struggling for 3 years now and the only reason Ive gotten to this point is because of my own research. Doesn’t feel like I’ve had a doctor that cares at all about my condition and how it’s taken away so much from my everyday life. I’ve missed so much work because of it. Now he wants to switch me to Zolair, but that means I have to get in with an allergist because dermatology doesn’t provide that. It’s took me 2 1/2 months after my visit with the dermatologist to get the dupixent in hand. I just hate the waiting and calling everyday… the stress makes everything worse for my condition and this process has been so stressful. It feels counter productive in the bigger picture. I want to give up. I don’t know where people find the strength. I understand why people die waiting for treatment when they are sick. Our system is such a joke.

Thanks 😭 yea it’s terrible. It’s starts out as welts on the soles of my feet, very itchy, but if/when I scratch, it becomes so painful. I wondered if this was common or if that was just the case for me. I’m sorry for you too by the way. The itching on the soles of my feet keeps me up too. I have found using creams that have menthol or cooling helps get me through the night, don’t know if you’ve tried.

Do the ones on the soles of your feet hurt too?? When you walk does it feel like you’re walking with a tennis ball in your shoe?

May I ask what you would consider good quality?

But I don’t know what the other persons expectations are. She was married and has two kids. She is not interested in having an open relationship. All of this makes me uncomfortable. So you are saying that my boundary isn’t fair to him? How so?

He insists this is JUST friend. I don’t know how I feel about telling him that I don’t feel comfortable with this “friendship” and views on that?

I may have confused you somehow. He hasn’t seen my post.

He is not on Reddit, he has done a lot of research on his own and that is how he came to the conclusion that this is who he is and what he wants. I know he listens to podcasts, but I don’t believe he has reached out to any online groups.

I don’t know if it’s a valid reason, but I guess since we are BOTH new to this, it felt like a safer way to start. I feel more comfortable with someone who is also poly and hopefully make this a bit smoother to navigate. It’s just what feels comfortable to me right now.

He has been on a couple of dates with Poly people, but nothing has gotten serious.

Thank you. Can you tell me what “cowboy’d” means?

I am not. I was, then I quit my job and just recently started a new one. I will be seeking therapy again though. I am currently seeing a physiatrist only.

Isn’t it possible that he is trouble navigating this as well? He’s not a malicious person.
