I had an appointment with my allergist today. The appointment was a suprise in that she declared our treatment a failure, even with the shrinking of my nasal polyps.
She is recommending to the VA that they put me on Dupixent, which she says is the best drug out there for what ails me.
She says she has all the data at her disposal to convince the VA to support her recommendation and that she is 90% certain the VA will provide the medication.
It will be delivered in two initial shots...and then I must give myself injections every two weeks thereafter. Sigh. Happily, it comes in an injection pen that I simply have to press against my thigh and press a button for the injection to take place.
I do that weekly with Trulicity for my A1C, although that is a relatively short, minor injection whereas the Dupixent injection takes a bit longer to complete.
Sigh, again.
