For Eczema: I can still remember that appointment were I started laughing by myself like a crazy person at the doctors office because the itch was finally gone, all those sleepless nights, all the sleeping drugs, all the oozing, bleeding, cleaning the floors several times a day were gone!!! I got my life back!!!! I certainly do not miss the bleach baths!! I suffered SEVERE eczema for 5 years with no diagnosis for 3, no answer with any medication. I am one of the lucky ones who entered the clinical trials since July 2014, felt the difference after first dosage, clear skin after a month, I know my skin will NEVER be normal, but thanks to this drug I have a normal life again!!! so blessed. |

For Eczema: On Dupixent and have extreme dry eye, wicked itching eyelids and eyes. For Eczema: I just developed eczema within the last 3 years and would literally cry because nothing would help. I have developed very low self esteem and would not go anywhere. I started the injections about 2 months ago and the rashes have subsided. I feel when I get into the week in between my injections I start getting itchy and red. Steroid cream helps at this time. I feel this medicine would be better if it was weekly instead of biweekly. My eyeballs literally itch like crazy after the injections but that goes away after a couple days and subsides after a dose of Benadryl. I still get pretty dry skin but nothing lotion does not help. I am not scratching myself until I literally scratch all the skin off which I was doing previously! I will say that with this injection I am feeling 80% better. I do not think I will ever be 100% again but this is WAY better than a year ago!! |

For Eczema: I have suffered with severe eczema for the whole 32 of my life. I have had everything... bandages, prednisone, methotrexate, azathioprine, high dosage of anti histamines. All with no prevail. The only previous treatment that worked well was ciclosporine, but I couldn't stay on it. I have had my 3rd dose of dupixent and I am beyond amazed!!! Itching has stopped, scars are healing, redness has faded, just 1 dry patch remains. It's a miracle drug!!!! I have never felt so good and confident. The summer is here and I am proudly wearing my strappy tops. I can say now, I am not suffering
