Members shared mixed experiences with Rinvoq for eczema, with some reporting dramatic relief from itching within a week and full clearing within a few weeks, while one member had to stop immediately due to breathing difficulties after the first dose. Several members discussed switching between Dupixent and Rinvoq, with many noting that Dupixent stopped working after two to three years of use, prompting their doctors to recommend Rinvoq as an alternative oral treatment. A recurring theme was the challenge of weighing medication effectiveness against potential side effects, with members expressing relief at finding treatments that restored their quality of life after severe, debilitating flare-ups, though some remained cautious about long-term risks and sought root causes through diet changes, probiotics, and lifestyle adjustments.

Seven months on it now & it has been great. The itching stopped everywhere within a wk ๐Ÿ˜. Hands cleared up in about 2-3 wks, it was gradual and the feet took a tad longer. Have had no flareups at all. Still moisturizing every day as we have had a dry summer & staying out of the sun.After a continuous horrible flareup on my heels for over 6 months, I feel like a new person. Have not had to take any antihistamines either.

@A MyEczemaTeam Member My eyes are tearing more-but then sometimes very dry and one eyelid twitches sometimes. But I was starting to not be able to function as a person and dupixent takes time. How long have you been on it? I'm definitely improving. I seriously would wake up screaming like parts of my body was on fire and my boyfriend would put frozen veggies on me. One time I was at a football game and my ear just suddenly went on fire. The tears just come. I was ready to put myself in whatever hospital would take me. I have a ways to go but for right now, I can tolerate the eye thing. It's given me my life back.
