Good evening @sophiep and @jameswood40. When I was finally approved for Dupixent a few months ago and I realized how amazingly it tackled my severe AD, I was wondering whether folks with Grover's disease might benefit from these tremendously helpful bi-monthly injections. At that time I don't think there was a response. Now we know.
Just so you know I have not had one neuropathic flare since the first Dupixent injection. If I can help, I will. The first question......have you read the Prescribing Information for Dupixent? That might be helpful and maybe give you a hint as to how to proceed. I did notice that another skin health issue is listed..Prurigo Nodularis. Secondly, have you tried calling Dupixent? 844 387-4936. Press #1 between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. The medical professionals answering your calls have a lot of knowledge. They also have access to the labs where experts work on the research and may have answers to more difficult questions.
I hope your outreach will return positive responses. I, too, had to have approval and supportive documentation from my dermatologist. I also have noted that some dermatologists have more accessibility to certain procedures and treatments than others. Perhaps this is a prescriptive hierarchy of some kind.
Do you have additional questions or requests?
May you be healthy and whole.
Chris
