Anyone using Dupixent for asthma/allergy treatment?

I am staying on Dupixent. I had Xolair injections for many years. Started Dupixent injections 10/2022. I had a near death virus with asthma attack 2/2023. I have never had an asthma attack that didn’t clear up in a few days. I began my usual Zopinex in nebulizer along with Prednisone 60 mgs for 2 days then 40 mg’s daily for a full 2 weeks. I could not walk therefore too sick to go to be virus tested. This attack left me very week for 45 days. I thought this attack may have been worst than my previous 35 years of attacks because of the antigen inhibitor injection RX change. My asthma specialist said Dupixent helped my lungs whereas Zopinex would not have. I am so very thankful I was using Dupinex!!!

Does the Covid or RVS viruses cause a much worst case of asthma?

You asked, "Does the Covid or RVS viruses cause a much worst case of asthma?" No medical evidence on my part, but two anecdotal cases.
My younger daughter and her kids had one, followed immediately by the other in January. She and her son both suffered a worsening of their asthma at that time. With consistent nebs for 2-3 months, and now twice daily inhaler use, they are much improved.
My older daughter was a very early Covid sufferer (March 2020) and has long Covid still. They have been trying ever since to get her asthma (which has always been difficult) under control. She has progressed from one biologic to another, and has now been switched from Dupixent to another biologic. Along the way, she has been on nearly constant steroids as well as her nebs.
