Is there any relief for Grover’s disease?

My Dermatologist asked if my household income was under $84,000 and I'm retired so it is. That apparently qualified me for the PAP (Patient Assistance Program). I'm not sure if it is the drug manufacturer assisting or not but she did the base load (2 doses) and sent me home with 2 more, 1 dose per week, with instructions to come back in 6 weeks for more. One thing that is worth noting, she made it clear she wasn't treating my GD with it but the secondary spontaneous urticaria that I've developed which Dupixent is approved for by FDA. It is not approved for GD. However everything I've read said it works for both but she would not confirm that. Call it whatever ya want, I'm just so thankful for at least a chance to overcome this cruel affliction. God bless and God help us all!

@lisas893 So glad you were able to get assistance. It’s a shame that GD hasn’t gotten approval for Dupixent.
I’m grateful my doctor was willing to work with me and guided me in getting the medication without having to pay the outrageous copay.
I’ve had the initial 600 mg dose and then 2 300 mg doses. The itching is gone but I still have a slight rash. Nothing compared to what it was originally. I have noticed that I start to get a slight itching right before I’m ready for my next dose. Not sure when it will completely resolve itself.
