So I have eczema and it's moderate to severe.
I can't have steroid creams because i have dermatillomania and there is a lot of open sores.
A cream that worked started to not work and made my rashes worse.
I started dupixent which is a shot that made more rashes appear.
And now I'm getting ready to start Rinvoq which is a pill. And I'm gonna start it when my cough goes away.....
The MOST common side effects that the pamphlet said were: Respiratory infections, shingles, flu like illnesses.
I was expecting nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping nope full on infections. Idk how but literally just said Respiratory tract infections.
Mom asked if my eczema has been bothering me lately and I said no. And then I realized I've never felt relief. So I don't know if it's been bothering me because it's there 24/7. I itch day and night. Subconsciously I itch.
So yeah hoping Rinvoq will help or something.
