Anyone have experience with Dupixent for asthma?

Just saw this...I have seen the info about the rare cases of paradoxical inflammation like joint pain, conjunctivitis, eosinophilia, etc.

I've only had the loading dose plus one and just have the redness at injection site which resolves in day or 2. I had it sometimes with xolair, too. With dry eyes already, I was concerned about conjunctivitis and am using OTC drops.

I looked at studies on the cases of lymphoma in asthma patients, too. There's a recent study by KSK Ma in European Resp. Journal. They confirmed association , but still found "Dupilumab was also associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality."
I'll have to make sure I get periodic skin checks and keep eye out as more data comes in.

Yesterday at Primary Care Doctor visit I asked him to look in my ears, nose throat. We lost sight of the nose, throat but did the ears. He indicated the right ear O.K see right through....left ear inflammation showing. I made an appointment just now with the ear doctor.
This inflammation is something else and needs close watching by many specialists it appears.
