Would Dupixent potentially help me?
I have inflammation in my lungs but I do not have a high eosinophil count. It is near the low end of normal.
If there is a chance I will ask my pulmonologist about it.
I use oxygen 24/7 and use Trelegy daily as well as Combivent Respimat as needed up to twice a day.
I take 6 mg prednisone daily because my adrenal gland doesn't make cortisol anymore.

Yes I think this is a question for your doctor. My doctor didn't know anything about Dupiexnt or it's biologic components for treatment He had to discuss how the medicine worked with some colleagues before prescribing it to me. The medicine is to treat Type 2 inflammation which is a high level eosinophils. If you don't have this you may not qualify for the treatment. I researched my CBC blood tests on my patient portal back to 2015 and my eosinophils levels were high back then as well. I had asthma as a child maybe this is why the level as been high all this time.
