"I have more than one of the conditions that Dupixent is prescribed for. The lung doctor prescribed it for COPD and asthma. But I also have atopic dermatitis and severe skin issues. I have been taking it for 6 months. It has helped with my breathing issues, but I’ve had 1 episode of asthma. It hasn’t helped with my skin conditions, but nothing has. But I am pleased for the breathing issues being improved. I can’t give myself the injection. I go to the doctor's office to get it. I tried to do it, but I couldn’t hold it and my belly skin and do it. So I have to pay to get the shot. The medicine is too expensive for me to chance doing it myself. I’m grateful that I don’t have so many episodes of asthma and COPD exacerbations."

"After 3 injections, I had to stop using. I was experiencing muscle and joint pain and extremely dry eyes. With the possibility of other side effects, I felt uncomfortable continuing this medication."

"My doctor gave me an injection of Dupixent after telling me about it being released for persons with my condition of COPD. I agreed to try it out, and he brought a sample that he had in his office and injected it in my left arm. It worked wonders, and I just loved it. After the first two weeks, I went back to his office, and he did not have any other samples, so he injected me with another medicine that he had, which name I do not recall. It did not work as my initial dose. The same happened on two other occasions, so he prescribed Dupixent, which was approved by Humana for me. After beginning to inject Dupixent, I have not had the same experience again with the other three injections I have had. Today, I received two more, which I will keep using to see if they really work for me. My main issue has been extreme fatigue and joint pain in my legs and shoulders. Hope my next one next Tuesday will work. If those do not work as the first one, I will have to end their use."
