So I’m in my 20s now and I have had eczema since I was a baby and it’s moderate-severe case and I’ve just been approved for Dupixent on the nhs but it’s probably irrational but I have heard a few concerns of people, having facial flares and I have had a history of facial eczema, as well as some people experiencing hair loss/alopecia and ctcl I haven’t fully read the literature but I’m worried since I have had my eczema my whole life and I’d rather deal with that than any long term dangerous/ unpleasant side effects, I guess it’s a case of the devil you know being better than the one you don’t, I also have nasal polyps and allergies which I have heard it helps with. TLDR essentially I’m wondering about people’s experiences with Dupixent positive and negative, to gauge whether I should try it or not I most likely will but I guess im apprehensive, also for the common side effects are there any ways of curbing these and when are you most likely to experience side effects and how have long term users found it do you find that it still works well or the incidence of side effects increases over time? Sorry for the spiel would be greatly appreciative of any advice, pointers or information.

I used to work at a store from about last year November until February this year during that time a new girl started up at this place and I’m relatively quiet at work but I can be friendly and recognised she was new so helped out a bit, but I realised she would sometimes behave a bit inappropriately on the shop floor by coming up to me and other co-workers with quite damning gossip about higher ups in the presence of certain managers and other workers on the shop floor and I essentially told her that I appreciate her trying to make conversation but that she should be more aware of her surroundings when trying to share certain things and I’m pretty sure the gossip was bs anyways but I was surprised she wasn’t able to decipher this. Slowly but surely I noticed she behaved a bit differently in a lot of situations and I sense she may be on the spectrum, which isn’t an issue at all but it explains some of her behaviours, I guess from this sort of relationship where I looked out for her she decided to further confide in me and she would tell me about all the issues she was having with managers and boys and a lot of it seemed like stuff where it was pretty easy to not only prevent but also fix so I straight up advised her but she didn’t take it up in terms of boy advice and work advice, and at this point I’m almost done at this place of work I end up leaving for unrelated reasons and she tells me that she will be in contact I don’t think much of it and tell her my good-byes she then texts me excessively every day and tells me she is abroad alone to meet a guy and no one in her family knows where she is and then she texted me crying that it didn’t go how she expected so I lock in and support my friend as time went on I cordially responded to her excessive texts and tried to honour this even after 2 months of leaving the workplace but as exams roll around I cut out contact completely and my phone number also changed so I used this as an excuse for a new beginning. She then ends up finding my new number despite me being pretty sure I didn’t share it with anyone at my old place of work and she continues texting and I don’t respond as at this point she knows I cut contact and I don’t have time for confrontation for a person I barely knew and our relationship was literally me constantly advising her and not once being asked about myself, she legit knows nothing about me except the district I live in, this is where it gets weird after she detects that I’m no longer messaging back she calls from no caller ID to which I never pick up from because nothing good ever comes from a no caller ID call, at this point I didn’t know who it was later that same day I get a call again and my sister jokingly picks up the phone and she starts saying she needs to speak to me and she starts interrogating me on why I did what did so I lied and said well my phone number changed and I’m sorry, I honestly am not this aversive but I felt I needed to be because she sounded happy one second and then erratic the next and I was lowkey a bit scared, so she accuses me of not liking her and interrogating me as to why and then a minute later screaming that we have to hang out this summer, my sister and friend overheard this and thought it was a prank call because she sounded a bit unwell if you get what I mean, she then says if you don’t I’m going to turn up at your district insert name to come and get you with a semi joking tone, i don’t know how she got my number, why she would say this but despite her being the meek new girl at my old place who often meant well I can’t help but shake this is rather obsessive my family told me to block her immediately because she seems unwell which I did but I can’t help but think I made things worse ???? How would you have managed it apologies for the long message
