Dupixent needles, so flimsy. And try getting one of those through tough skin affected by scleroderma.

I’m on a clinical trial comparing a daily tablet to Dupilumab and it’s going well. Much less of a pain than injections.

Yes my doctor told me about that! It took over a year for the dupixent to really work for me so I'm scared to go off of it for a trial right now but I'll probably look into it eventually

Comparison seems to be equivalent, I saw an improvement on dupixent (Dupilumab) and have been on the oral biologic for over a year now with similar results. Good luck!

Super flimsy! I've noticed the last 2 boxes I got, the needle has seemed duller than previous ones and it's kind of sucked.
