Thank you! I am going to stop it. I can hardly walk at this point and I’m miserable. My pulmonologist put me on it for my asthma. I couldn’t tolerate any of the inhalers. I’ve now developed adrenal insufficiency from being on prednisone for a year. It’s a shame the Dupixent is causing the else side effects because it worked wonders for my chronic sinusitis which I’ve had for a year, and it also helped my asthma. After just the loading dose shots of the Dupixent I could breath out of both nostrils, smell and taste again within a few days. It really worked wonders. I know though it has to be the Dupixent causing all of this pain and I l’ve also been getting UTIs since starting it.
Again, I’m so sorry the Dupixent caused such horrible long term problems for you!
I called the pharmacist again after I read your first message and this time the one I spoke to said to contact my doctor and she recommended stopping it saying yes it can cause all of this. She did say though my symptoms will all resolve after stopping it, which you know all too well isn’t true for everyone. She should not have told me that.
