Dupixent (dupilumab) "I’ve been taking Dupixent for 10 weeks now, and I’m quite pleased with Dupixent. It’s response time is pretty much immediate, which has given me the much needed relief it promises. In addition, I’ve noticed how quickly I feel the return the symptoms of EoE when it’s time to do my weekly dose. 5 stars"

Dupixent (dupilumab) "My EOE got to a point where I was having trouble eating most of the time. I've had dilation and tried swallowed oral steroids, which worked fairly well and better than omeprazole. But with swallowed oral steroids (fluticasone) I still had periods where I had more trouble swallowing and short (but painful!!) blockages. With Dupixent my symptoms are GONE. No trouble swallowing, no blockages. At times I have a slight slow down in food moving through my esophagus but I think that has more to do with 48 years of EOE that was untreated and some inevitable damage that has been done. This has been my miracle drug."

Dupixent (dupilumab) "I use the pen and it is definitely a bit spicy. I take it on Sunday mornings and have found if I take it out of the fridge the night before, it helps a lot. It’s towards the end of the injection that I have to wince a bit. It’s just a sharp kind of pain, but it’s not unbearable. Once it’s done injecting, the pain pretty much stops immediately. That being said, the area is swollen for a bit, sometimes I get a big red welt that looks like an allergic reaction, but it’s not. Just an injection site reaction that seems to be normal with this medication. It’s gone by the next day. The injection site DOES NOT like band-aids. I’ll put one on for a bit just to catch any minor seepage or blood from the injection, but I’ll take it off after 15 minutes otherwise, the redness and swelling is 10 times worse. All that to say, it’s done WONDERS for me. With the first dose my eczema cleared up and I haven’t had anymore “allergic reactions” or issues eating really anything."

Dupixent (dupilumab) "Within just weeks, I could swallow better and eat more normally again. The first couple doses did make me feel strange and tired, but now I only notice some vision issues for a couple of days after each shot. The shot is easy to use, and discomfort is minimal."

Dupixent (dupilumab) "I have asthma and EOE, and I just want to tell you how much this drug has changed my life for the better! My esophageal count was really extreme, over 130, which my doctor said is one of the highest counts he's ever seen. The issues with swallowing were honestly the least of my issues. I had it so bad that it would attack my airways when I ate certain foods and I could not breathe. An inhaler helped very little, and I would get sick (throw up) because of me being unable to breathe and the irritation and pain I had in my esophagus/stomach. My doctor suggested Dupixent because I was such an extreme case, and I am so thankful he did! It's been such a game-changer for me. It takes a few doses to really get you feeling amazing, but you notice a difference after each shot. To me, this saved my life, and I can now live a more normal and pain-free life. I can breathe, food doesn't get stuck, and I'm able to sleep so much better at night because I don't feel irritable."

Dupixent (dupilumab) "My 25-year-old son has had EOE since around 2 years old. Watching him struggle to live through the years has been traumatic for all of us. He has starved, down to an extremely low weight more than once. Hospitalized many times and given a feeding tube. We eat to live and he couldn't. His throat would close to the size of the opening of a straw. My son is also on the Spectrum which made this disease even more of a challenge. He has been on Dupixent for a year and LET ME TELL YOU.. He is LIVING because of this miracle medication. If I could hug the makers of this drug, I would. They saved my son's life. On his last scope, there were no eosinophils. THANK YOU!!!"
