How has eczema made you anxious and afraid?

Whether it's the fear of an oncoming flare, looking in a mirror, or going out in public, this visible skin condition can induce a lot of anxiety and fear. What are your eczema-related anxieties?

  1. The only anxiety which I have is that because it’s been under control with Dupixent for over three years now, what will the cost to me be when I retire and move to Medicare? I know it’s been around a while but I don’t know how long it will be under patent.

    To go back to the days before Dupixent the only way that worked to let me get nighttime rest was Cyclosporine, and yet immunity is compromised.

    Prednisone worked but the heath risks from side effects bad

    1. , everyone is different but from what I have seen Medicare should cover your dupixent. I would definitely talk with your doctor though, they should know or have a good idea. Worst case though, this article has some tips on extra way to afford your medications: https://atopicdermatitis.net/living/my-treatment-costs best, Sam S. (team member).
