Dupixent Side Effects - Joint Pain and Injection Anxiety

@1koga1 how long have you been doing it? The first couple they did in office in my arm then I started doing it myself and tried both thighs and stomach to see which I preferred and I think I prefer thigh a tiny bit. I still, no matter what, rotate in a circle (right thigh, right belly, left belly, left thigh then repeat) so that each spot has time to heal. I’ve noticed if you do the same spot every week it starts to get painful in that area. I suggest using the syringe and not the pen so you can inject it reallyyyyyy slowly (the slower the better, if you go fast it’s painful) and take the medicine out of the fridge an hour before injecting so it warms to room temp. I also noticed that icing the spot before and after helps with the pain a little but really helps with hives and swelling at injection site. I would try the first one by yourself (do it with them watching you in office) in your upper thigh. Get the chunkiest part and if it starts to sting just slow down. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome too so I’m sure that’s why my joint pain is so bad but I just hope I don’t have to stop it because the pain is so bad when I walk. It’s helping me swallow already!! But i also feel like I’ve had a head cold since starting it?? Like it’s made my allergies worse around my face. Let me know how it goes for you!!! You’re the first person I’ve talked to that’s also taking it for EoE! Once a week I’m assuming too?
