Took my injection with your guidance today. I’ve been on Dupixent for the last 3 years for severe eczema, have had the syringe style until this year, this one is way more intimidating and hurts way worse! But this video helped me so much. Thank you!
I just gave myself my first injection and was so scared! Your video really helped me overcome that initial fear and gave some helpful tips on what I should do! Thank you!
Glad to hear it! It does get easier, I've been on it for a year now. I can't let myself get in my head, the entire process is about 1 minute for me now, I just hype myself up and don't think about it .... run into the bathroom, scrub alcohol, squeeze the fat and just say "1,2,3" and do it. Once every 3 or 4 times it really hurts for some reason, but most of the time it's not really bad at all anymore. Good luck to you!
Bro I REALLY wish I would've found your video sooner. I've been dealing with PTSD inducing pain with these. I just tried it the exact same way you did while watching and 0 pain! You sir just saved me here. Thank you!
Thanks so much! As a person who struggled really hard with trypanophobia, learning this method made it completely painless and cleared my anxiety. I'm so thankful for this guide.
@@kierstynsaoirse When I first found this video I was still hesitant and scared of the pain, but when I did it this way it didn't hurt at all which was very relieving to me. Now I get it done in a minute compared to hours! I take a deep breathe, and press.
I come back to this video quite often cause I’ve had a lot of bad experiences doing the injection, I think I was letting up the grip I had on the little fat I have and it hurt so bad. Thanks for easing the anxiety by showing how simple the injection is and showing the right way to do it.
Thank you so much for this! I started to watch an almost 30 minute video-which was too long. Your video was perfect and to the point. ❤EOE and asthmatic here. Best wishes to you and your health.
Thank you so much for this video! I watched it when I gave myself my first injection, and it really helped me build up the courage to do it along with you. I just gave myself my second dose while watching the video again, and it made the process so much easier. It helps tremendously!
My doctor gave me an injection in the top of my thigh and I felt like I was gonna pass out. It hurt so bad. I think I’m gonna try to give it to my self in my stomach
pinching the skin and making sure your not tensing up makes the pain go away! I was suprised when i tried pinching after a painful injection before. NO PAIN :)
Thank you very much for your video. I just did my first self injected shot after having the doctor previously do it. I followed along with you and it really helped! ❤️
Thanks Bryan. Used to have the syringes and injection day always scared the heck out of me. Used your tip of pinching the fat and what a difference that made!
Thank you so much! My doctor and pharmacist neglected to show me how even after asking, so your video helped me so much! Wish me luck on my first injection🤞
@Bryan Mack thank you so much for this vid. I HATE giving myself this shot because it burns like crazy every time. But THIS time I tried the pinch like you suggest and I didn’t feel a thing. Problem solved and fear totally put to rest. If you use this med and suffer from the same pain and fear as I do, and happen to find this video, PLEASE take this instruction into consideration. I PROMISE you the same results. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Okay, that hurt way worse for me, and I ended up pulling my pen out prematurely. Partly because of the pain, and partly because I thought it was finished. I was in a hurry to get it off me, in all honesty. I'm glad it works for others, but it didn't work for me. I still find the syringe version to be best because I can control the rate of speed. I hate the pen!
My son has EoE and was just prescribed this. We still have to get our training from the nurse, but this was really helpful. Other treatments haven’t worked, so I hope this does! Thanks.
Thank you for posting this video, I use it every time I have to give myself the injection, cause I'm too scared to do it alone. It helps a lot so thank you!
Thank you for this video! I’m on Xolair, not Dupixent, but most of those videos are for the regular syringe or self-injecting syringe. I am so glad that you showed the pen in the preview so that I stopped to watch your video. Thank you for mentioning about the colored tip going into the white pen, as I used this as a guide to make sure I’m pressing and holding it in far enough. And the pinch recommendation is so important! I learned on another video that doing this temporarily cuts the blood supply to the nerves, which is why it hurts less. Lastly, I do mine in my belly and find that it hurts a less, which is just one more example of how each of our bodies is different and we all have to figure out what works for us. Well, this video works for me, so thank you!
Sitting here with my husband for my first two pens (have to do 2 on day 1 for eczema) and this was the most helpful video before he injected me! Thank you!!
Thank you for making this video. I am literally about to give my 7 year old son who has Eosinophilic Esophagus, eczema, and asthma his first injection right after I finish typing this comment. He is also on the spectrum and is very afraid of needles. I hope that the medicine doesn't burn too much going in because I don't want him to hate getting the injections. EoE has definitely changed our lives, but it promising to see you, a healthy looking adult male. ❤
Hi! Omg how did it go? I literally have to give my 6 year old this shot in a week.. well the medicine came in today and it was intimidating the needle was so long 😩 I was thinking it was going to be a lil prick like an epi pen and I just don’t know he’s afraid of needles 😩😩😩 now I’m scared! Thinking of just taking him to the dermatologist to let them do it. Each visit is 135😵💫
@shelasarn No, save your money. I let my son see this video, and I demonstrated on him what I was going to do , and I think that decreased his anxiety . We chose to do his left leg first. My son didn't cry. He watched the whole time. I did a countdown, and that seemed to help. Good luck! I have to admit that I think that allowing him to see this video and the fact that he didn't show any discomfort helped my son to get a positive mindset about receiving the injection. Let me know how it goes. ❤️
Hi Ladies, are you ladies talking about the dupixen shring or pen (like one demonstrated in the video). I ask because my daughter has been on the shot/shring type for 1.5yrs now ( she will be turning 4yrs old next month) and wld like to change to the pen hoping it's less painful!. Being g that she young, he do a lot of negotiating & bargaining to let her know the benefits of the monthly injection & she is getting better in accepting & causing less anxiety lately. Good luck to you all❤
@snamuwo We are doing the pen, and my son is 7 years old. He says that it doesn't really hurt, and it has made a huge difference in decreasing his reactions to allergens, and his asthma has improved as well. Showing my son this video and demonstrating what we were going to do before we did it, I feel helped to ease any anxiety that he may have had about the injection.
By the way for people that are scared to do it in the belly, please don't - I've been doing Metothrexate and then Dupixent for years now and I found the belly injections to be surprisingly less painful than the thigh (especially in these cases where stars align and you hit a small nerve) - it's mostly a barrier in your mind! I also always preferred the normal syringes compared to these auto-injectors, I understand they're made in a way so you can't see the needle, but the suspense of needle slamming in me with loud click and delivering the drug was always worse than just "having control" with just a syringe for me ;)
My son who will be 30 next month has been dealing with eoe for many years now . He has had his esophagus stretched at least once a year for the last 6 years or so . He just seen a commercial about this med . I came here to see what orhers had to say about it . Hopefully you all find relief with this med . Thank you for sharing this information!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been dreading this because of the stinging sensation when the medicine is going in. These past couple injections I haven’t done the best because of being scared of the burn/sting feeling when the medicine is making my way in my body.
😮💨This is my first time taking it for asthma... Definitely, I read the instructions first but I was looking for a demonstration even if I had the demonstration at the doctors office a month ago or more. I didn't want to make a mistake.😅 It helped me a lot when you said to pinch the skin and counted 1,2,3... Before pressing down the injection.😖 Thanks for sharing...💯Blessings.
@@lelyguti2014 first of all... I was diagnosed wrong, I don't have asthma. Then the injection has a lot of side effects... ⚠️🚨 I had an inflammation on the joint of my shoulder, I couldn't lift my left arm or move it to touch my back for 8 months, I couldn't sleep because of the pain and I had to reported the side effects to the company and my doctor. I stop taking the Dupixent injection and all the medication for the morning and night for the asthma, I had to go to a phiscal therapist. After I stop taking everything, I'm able to move my arm much better. I'm not 100% well but I feel better. ***Check all the instructions and all the side effects then talk to the specialist of Dupixent if you have any bad reactions. *** talk to your dooctor about it. Take care and feel better.
Dude you’re so awesome for posting this! It helped me gain the courage to do my dupixent shot. I was scared even though I already give my mom her wegovy lol. ❤
this was posted forever ago but im about to inject my first dose ever and this helped a lot, im extremely nervous but this helped to kinda give me a better sense of what to do :) thanks!
I also have eosinophilic esophagitis and eosinophilic sinusitis wich cause polyps and lost taste or smell. I suffered from this for almost 10 years. I've only been taking Dupixent for two months. I take it every other Thursday. I CAN SMELL AND TASTE. it's so devine. I take my shot in my stomach. I do get anxious and nervous giving myself the shot. Just this last shot got a bruise but no rash or hives. Thank you for this video.
I’ve had eoe for a little over a year now, also sinusitis according to cat scans as well as a nasal polyps removed. So similar, is the medicine helping your throat/esophagus symptoms as well? Did you ever figure out what food allergy was setting everything off?
@joelt5994 yes had the surgery as well. My ENT specialists told me some people get the surgery every six months. That some people would not be me lol That is extreme!! Well foods high in citrus acid really set my eoe off. I haven't had any issues since starting the shots. However, I also limit my dairy, and wheat intake as well.
greatly appreciate this video, as I always felt the thigh injection site was much more intimidating than my stomach finally gained the confidence to self-inject my thigh this morning, thanks to this video 🙌🏾
I found videos about Dupixent. In them nobody flinched when they gave themselves or children the shot. I thought I was doing something wrong. Bryan added the part about gathering the skin together into a fold with a pinch. What a difference! Thank you, Bryan. I gave myself the Dupixent injector tonight. Not bad.
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to do it in my stomach & it was so painful that i have been making my life partner do it for me. Now, i will try it this way. ❤
Belly is definitely less painful. I used to do thigh. But found out the belly is significantly less painful. Can press or pinch some fat 2” away from your belly button. Leave the shot out for a day on the counter, at minimum take it out in the morning and use before bed. It hurts severely when it’s cold. Use alcohol wipes in a circular motion starting in the middle and working your way out like a bullseye. This pushes bacteria and dirt away from the injection site. Don’t blow on it to dry, let air dry. Inject in the middle of the spot. Blot dry or put on a bandaid, dont wipe away any liquid or blood it will hurt. A few drops of blood is normal, probably just hit a capillary vein in the skin and will stop bleeding in a second. (It’s totally normal, happens even with my flu shots etc.)
1:23 yeah guys that sound is cause by lil air bubbles,TLDR do not shake your needle to warm up it,just rool it back and forth between your hands for 1 min and your good to go
I've been on it for a year. Since my last esophagus dialation (around new years when it turned to 2023) I have had 0 reactions or obstructions, which is unheard of. I had a biopsy 4 months after starting dupixent and my eosinophil count was down to nearly 0. That said, I'm STILL not confident that this is the answer to my EoE. I personally, as a non-doctor, just think my esophagus will shrink again over time. We'll see, can't complain about the last year, though!
I have been taking my shot since October 2022. I have no symptoms of Eosinophilic Esophagitis since I started the shot. My doctors said that there were no eosinophils in my esophagus There has been some times where I missed a week and I definitely notice some of my symptoms coming back.
Thank you for this helpful video. I was told to take it once every two weeks. But you said you take it once a week. Why is that? Does it depend on the condition? Thanks.
My son will start his first ever dupixent injection today, he has struggled with u controlled EoE for 5 years. Im hoping this will help and a fear is this new medicine scares the crap out of me. I always fear allergic reactions for anything.
I have the injection I can’t get my self to do I try and have to keep throwing them away bc I suck and can’t put the needle all the way in so I constantly just suffer from severe eczema
I had really bad eczema and it’s the only thing that worked for me! I just pinched my skin a little more like this guy did and tried the hydrocortisone and it helped a lot. Just do it for your body and you won’t suffer like I did for years with ugly legs! It works!
I suffer from EE or EOE. I eat baby food and blend foods I'm not allergic to into puree. I am always that 1 in a million that has life threatening reactions. So my doctor does not want me to try it till a greater time has passed and a very large population with EE has taken it. What are the worst sides effects you've had? Are you still having food hang up? When food hangs up on me, my esophagus does not release or open up and I need surgical intervention. What is the cost?
HELP......my doctor wants me to start this medication. Ive read about so many side effects which has me terrified. How has the medicine affect you? Thank you
Thank you! 1st injection following your video. Was going to just stab myself, but your advice was spot on. Helpful suggestion from elsewhere... let the syringe contents come up to room temperature! Makes a huge difference (my last injections were cold and given at the office... waaaaay worse!)
Ask your parents if they can request some numbing cream from the doctor, and put it on 1 hour prior to the shot. Then get an ice pack and put it on after the 1 hour of numbing cream then put alcohol swab on it pinch and inject. Just so you know it doesn’t help the burning. Hope this helps

This video helped me a lot. I’m learning to be able to help my boyfriend. He also uses that same ointment! Haha. Thanks for sharing😁
Thank you, just did my first shot, your video was perfect
This video is great! Short, concise and to the point with very clear instructions and good visual. Thank you.
Awesome, thanks for the training
I wish would have watched this first! Thank you!
Thank you Bryan this was helpful!
Thank you so much …. Off to try it
Thank you! This helped me soooooo much!
How long have you been taking it and has it worked.
I've been on it for a year. Since my last esophagus dialation (around new years when it turned to 2023) I have had 0 reactions or obstructions, which is unheard of. I had a biopsy 4 months after starting dupixent and my eosinophil count was down to nearly 0. That said, I'm STILL not confident that this is the answer to my EoE. I personally, as a non-doctor, just think my esophagus will shrink again over time. We'll see, can't complain about the last year, though!
I have been taking my shot since October 2022. I have no symptoms of Eosinophilic Esophagitis since I started the shot. My doctors said that there were no eosinophils in my esophagus There has been some times where I missed a week and I definitely notice some of my symptoms coming back.
@@BryanMackhello, does your eoe cause narrowing of the esophagus ?
Thanks for the education
I appreciate you
I’ve been doing this for 2 years and i absolutely hate it still
Thank you for this helpful video. I was told to take it once every two weeks. But you said you take it once a week. Why is that? Does it depend on the condition? Thanks.
Thank you so much! Dupixent isnt as painful to inject using this
about to inject for the first time, thx for your video
My son will start his first ever dupixent injection today, he has struggled with u controlled EoE for 5 years. Im hoping this will help and a fear is this new medicine scares the crap out of me. I always fear allergic reactions for anything.
Im trying to do it myself right now.
I have the injection I can’t get my self to do I try and have to keep throwing them away bc I suck and can’t put the needle all the way in so I constantly just suffer from severe eczema
I had really bad eczema and it’s the only thing that worked for me! I just pinched my skin a little more like this guy did and tried the hydrocortisone and it helped a lot. Just do it for your body and you won’t suffer like I did for years with ugly legs! It works!
Please help me to get one 🙏 I cant buy it
Well that looks terrifying, looking forward to none of that, but will be doing it either way.
Thought I had the courage to do this myself, took me half an hour to even try. Boyfriend had to do it for me 😬
Are you still taking this for your eoe? Has it helped are you glad you started on it? I just got diagnosed with eoe…
Did it help you eoe? What percentage has it helped by?
Thanks
You're video should be on dupixent page since they don't have that syringe there.
Thank you!
I suffer from EE or EOE. I eat baby food and blend foods I'm not allergic to into puree. I am always that 1 in a million that has life threatening reactions. So my doctor does not want me to try it till a greater time has passed and a very large population with EE has taken it.
What are the worst sides effects you've had?
Are you still having food hang up? When food hangs up on me, my esophagus does not release or open up and I need surgical intervention.
What is the cost?
Once per week injection?
Thank you
The belly don't hurt much at all
thanks Brother
Thanks again
Great video! Dupixent is kinda painful though.
"Thank you for your video. I have a question: When injecting into the abdomen, should one create folds or not?"
Yes. Same as the thigh. Hold it tight at first then let up. It feels the same in both the thigh and stomach. It's a personal preference.
@tifflovedakids thanks
Wasn’t bad at all thank u ! Feels better then gettin the shot in the stomach for sure
Is this Michael Keaton?
HELP......my doctor wants me to start this medication. Ive read about so many side effects which has me terrified. How has the medicine affect you? Thank you
i’m taking my first one at home today nerves bad
Has it made a difference with the EOE?
It has for me. Life changing.
Me too, I'm almost off of it
I start mine today and I am so so scared
godspeed.
Thank you! 1st injection following your video. Was going to just stab myself, but your advice was spot on. Helpful suggestion from elsewhere... let the syringe contents come up to room temperature! Makes a huge difference (my last injections were cold and given at the office... waaaaay worse!)
wonder if it loses potency in room temp for too long... instructions read to refidgerate on arrival
I have been doing dupixent for a couple months im only 12 and it hurts like a sun of a gun any tips to make it not hurt
Ask your parents if they can request some numbing cream from the doctor, and put it on 1 hour prior to the shot. Then get an ice pack and put it on after the 1 hour of numbing cream then put alcohol swab on it pinch and inject. Just so you know it doesn’t help the burning. Hope this helps
