Incredible! Does New Ad for Dupixent Confirm the Reality of Topical Steroid Addiction?

[@carmensuttles8175]

My 29 year old son has been going through TSW for the last 6 months. He had excema since he was a baby had been using Trymasinalone ointment for years and no one told us about withdrawl. He also tried Dupixent 6 years ago and had a terrible reaction with his eyes. He's now suffering terribly.

@@Paula-pm1fv no no - hang in there is not therapy to allow you to function - you need good medical care with symptomatic medications, a little psychological help and cyclosporin if not functioning in life - you cannot just throw away years of your life

Another great video! 👍 We appreciate all you are doing for the sufferers of tsw. Just listening to you guys helps me stay the course.

[@jelenapopov1846]

Can you make a video about tsw and allergies?how to deal with this? My girl is 6 y old,i recognized her addiction to steroids and she was great on cyclosporin for 8 months,since we stop ,her skin is very bad again,we dont sleep,antihistamines do not work anymore..but also polen allergies are a big problem for her skin(+ asthma) .

[@marvinrapaport228]

You need appropriate medical care and guidance - I have listened to a thousand wrong roads followed - pollen , being one of them cyclosporin for 8 months in a 6 year old ??? not my approach

[@JLX1373]

another great video. suggestion - can the cameraman please have a microphone too? he makes good points but they're barely audible

[@abz2899]

@bigwavebobby Can you give a summary of your withdrawal? I believe you said it was 5 years and I'm curious to know how long you were dry/shedding and had nerve pain. When did you start seeing normal skin in the tsw areas?

[@marvinrapaport228]

When there are 1000-4000 days involved with withdrawal, there are a thousand different symptoms on different days with ups and downs -you need expert care , otherwise, you suffer needlessly

Hi! Can you explain why ciklosporin only works at 300mg dose? I've been on it for about a year and can confirm it only works when I'm at 300 mg/day. If I lower it to 200mg/day it's like I don't take it at all.. 200 mg and 0 mg / day is the same effect and I don't understand why, so can you explain this please? Thanks

[@Shuba96]

can we confirm that tsw heals while under ciclosporine pls? my derm suggests ciclosporine but im not sure to use it

[@worer850]

It tamps your symptoms down about 85 to 90%. It's not perfect skin, but much relief . A game changer. Time is what heals it. Like he says 3 to 5 years.

[@Shuba96]

@@worer850 so when i am on ciclosporine, the tsw will still heal during this? My english is bad sorry

[@Momina213]

My dear if you are a TSW candidate then go cold Turkey. Listen to the doctor in this video and all his videos.

[@Momina213]

Don’t go to dermatologists during this period they will add more to your misery.

[@Shuba96]

@@Momina213 i am almost 3 years in tsw, had a big flair last 2 months. Thats why i am considering ciclosporine bc i am so tired and lost of the pain and no sleep

I have severe eczema. Im not taking any steriod with Dupixent. You dont mention taking Dupixent by itself.Also you mention you can be cured from eczema? Every doctor ive talked to syas it cant be cured. Where is the scientific ecidence that eczema can be cured? Thanks

[@JulijaMlakar]

Hello Dr. Rapaport! Unfortunately, they wrote about systemic corticosteroids, not topical ones. Doctors know that systemic needs to be reduced slowly. Most likely, people are switched to systemic steroids before Dupixent to suppress RSS and then start Dup.

It says topicals on the leaflet

@JulijaMlakar I responded to your comment and it disappeared. I responded again, similarly to the first time, and it disappeared again. Something very disturbing is going on here. It was about topical steroids, as well as systemic steroids, being mentioned in the literature.

@@patm01 Hi, I also see in many answers that there are messages, but then when I open them they disappear. I think there is a message filter configured on the channel or the KZbin filter is deleting messages.

Question, is Calendula safe to use? Curious as it is listed as a natural steroid. But that’s different from a corticosteroid right?

[@Momina213]

I used calendula in both ointment and liquid nothing worked. Time is the best healer for TSW.

[@jerredclarke7887]

@@Momina213 so it is safe to use even though it’s listed as a natural steroid?

[@Momina213]

@@jerredclarke7887 it is safe and it is not a steroid. The liquid dries the skin and the emollient traps heat. I tried everything but cold Turkey helps. Less is more at this point. I am in my 16th month, how far are you?

[@Momina213]

@@jerredclarke7887 one important thing if using liquid do dilution is must do not apply directly it burns. I trust Dr.Rapaport and following his advice and seeing the difference. He is spending his majority time in awareness of steroid use instead of taking easy and relaxing.
