The one thing they don't tell you about Dupixent.

It takes 12 weeks to learn if it's working or not.

I'm sorry if you weren't told this upfront.
When I started Dupixent last October, I was told that it would take weeks to see any benefits. Fast forward, I've seen great improvement for my esophagitis, bloodwork shows eosinophils all now in normal range, and CT showed inflammation in airway and lungs much improved.
Wanting immediate relief or improvement is understandable. Being patient is difficult.

For me, Dupixent started showing benefits soon after I started taking it. I guess we are all different in how soon (or slowly) we may see benefits.
Patience is important in any new treatment plan.
