@orangetiger how long have you been on it? Do you see any side effects? If yes what are they? How often do you use it? I read that the shots are quite painful?

@lilianna
Ask for a script for EMLA or something similar

Dupixent has been on the market for I think 20 years. It works well especially if you are still have symptoms left over even after taking brinsupri. You can always stop if it doesn't work. Good luck!

@lilianna I’ve been on Dupixent since January of this year. Initially, as the very tiny needle enters the skin it really hurts but it goes away quickly. In the beginning it itched and got swollen, a retired nurse friend suggested using a body lotion on the itchy area that helped. Now no itch, just slight swelling and its very temporary. Hope this helps.
