I started Dupixent in November of 2023 and could not be more pleased. I have Stage IV COPD and had Zephyr valves placed the same month. The valves help with O2 delivery to the "good" airsacs but does not address the secretions. That's where Dupixent comes in! My O2 sats run in the 96-97 and has improved with my activity not dropping below 90. Very happy with the valves and Dupixent. Let me know if I can be of any help!

I am 79, and I smoked for almost 60 years, I didn’t quit until I was diagnosed, 7 years ago, Too late!!! I am in end stage COPD….I quit Cold Turkey! I would think about my family watching me struggle to breathe….which they do now. I have been on Oxygen 24/7, for 6 years. Obviously my COPD progressed quickly. I am 79 years old. As I said I quit smoking Cold Turkey, without any drugs, if I could do it, you can too. Good luck, God Bless.

many thanks for your reply, will also try it
I also use cordyceps which I find helpful
wonder how many people are using dupixent and to what effect
