interestingly no. i have always thought & felt i had allergies. but after testing and being negative. but there are lots of times i still feel that i have allergies. such as in the summer with fresh cut grass🤷♂️. but i was put on Dupixent because of the Chronic Sinusitis and the polyps that tend to go together.

My experience is similar to yours and I've been on 300mg Dupixent injections for about 1.5 years.
I was diagnosed at Mayo clinic Rochester Mn. in 2014 after 7 years of steroid injections and two sinus surgeries. Diagnosis: Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease. (AERD) Also known as Samter's triad: Asthma, Nasal Polyps, Sinusitis.
All allergy tests were negative at two different Allergist's.
However; a integrative health specialist found I had food intolerances on top of the AERD. So I can not have Gluten, Soy, Corn, fermented foods or alcoholic beverages. No beer unless certified "Gluten free". Ingesting these foods causes: asthma typical reaction, runny nose and or post nasal drip, especially at night if I have accidently been contaminated at a restaurant.
Dupixent has been wonderful, however, about 6 months ago, some of the symptoms are returning. Voice impairment, post nasal, caugh. I do use Budesonide, sea salt sinus rinses that help with post nasal. (Squeeze bottle works best).
You might request an Aspirin challenge for AERD. Also, see a doctor that tests for food intolerances, which is different than an allergy.
Best of luck and hope this helps determine cause of your issues.
