Hi Briana, Thank you for everything you do to highlight tsw you are so brave and inspiring! I just wanted to ask if you've heared of Rinvoq i have tried cyclosporine and it helped a bit but it really effected my renal function and gave me migraines and nausea. I then tried dupixent and it hasnt worked for me at all. The next step is rinvoaq. I don't see much on social media about it. Im desperate as I'm about to lose my job plus i have a five year old who just sees mummy sick and housebound. I'm in the UK and will be signing both petitions 😊

Would love to hear more about your uni life and any other film projects you're working on too if you can muster the energy. Quick q about your Dupixent journey if that's ok...how long were you on it before started suffering with the eye pain? I've just crossed the one year mark myself...and getting slightly worried the shit is going to hit the fan soon. All the best and like your Spiderman cuddly in the background - hang in there!

Am super overwhelmed with Uni and editing of the Still Preventable documentary (doing the work of a team as one solo person atm 😅), but will hopefully update soon. If you have insta, I do more smaller update stories there! As for Dupixent, it was exactly 11 months in I had issues start. It's so different for everyone though. I know people who have been on it for years and minimal (if any) issues. If it's working for you, fabbbb!

Sending you so much love Bri, I’ve been a silent follower for two years now since I started TSW and you’ve been such a comfort to me❤I totally empathize with everything you are feeling right now and all the existential stress that occurs when flares happen even when they’re “not supposed to”. It’s so agonizing and unfair. I am confident this is just another bump in the road for you but no matter what happens with you and dupixent try to remember that there are other options in case you do have to stop. I had to come off last year abruptly after a terrible reaction after over a year of thinking it was my saving grace. As stressful as it was I was able to do a flush out period and get on Adbry (another biological i’m sure you know, just interacts with your immune system a little less) and that’s really helped me for the time being. It’s such a fear of mine as well that one day everything will stop working and I’ll end up back at square one, and as tough as it is to let that fear go, i know you know finding a way to is pivotal to living a real life. In terms of financials, you have done so much for this community and spreading awareness I think a lot of us wouldn’t mind giving back if you made a gofundme to get you through this time. You’ve accomplished so much throughout this journey and have been such a positive force of inspiration to every soul you’ve touched going through this, please remember that.

I’m so sorry it didn’t work out, everything will be ok Briana. Something will work, just keep trying different ways until your body heals. My son just got off dupixent as well, he had major facial flares and eye conjunctivitis with eye pain. I totally feel every emotion of yours in this video because my 18 year old is going through the same thing right now. Our life is constantly being turned upside down. He started using hydrocortisone again after the dupixent flares last week cause it was so bad. Especially after being off steroids for over 3.5 years. Tsw started for my boy when he was just 13 years old, you can imagine he is not your typical teenager, much more mature and just a different person completely now. He just told his derm today that he is done with biologics and immunos for now and wants to try to heal his way. Ice baths, cold showers, sauna for a few minutes, salt baths and intense exercise has helped a lot. I don’t know how he does it but there is a fire inside my kid I haven’t seen in anyone. But now we have to somehow get off these creams again. It’s exhausting… we just have to keep going and do whatever we can to get through this. It’s so interesting that low cortisol symptoms are similar to tsw symptoms, like, can’t these doctors fix at least that problem? How do we get our natural cortisol to go up as quick as possible without aggressive drugs? I would think if we had that solution then we don’t need creams. Hang in there…you will get better…

It’s a great idea to have a chat group for kids/teens. I am so proud of him, he literally told me when he was 15 years old that he is so glad he is going through this because he is a much better person now. I was holding back tears because as a mother I just wanted to rip my heart out and give it to him if that healed him. He still claims he was not as nice of a person and lacked empathy and compassion. It’s so profound how we reflect in times of pain and suffering, even at such a young age. The things you’ve learned through this experience have only made you stronger but I know that enough is enough now. We need healing, where there is a will there’s a way. Right now all we can do is just throw everything at this thing that we know helps us, and most importantly do whatever you feel is best for you. As for the financial cost this can have on people, it’s just insane. Every penny we saved to expand our home for the last decade is gone to doctors and treatments and me taking time off work to be with my son. But that’s ok, I would do it all again, money can be made, the most important thing is health and the knowledge we’ve all gained is priceless. Hang in there, you will figure something out and I will wait for your next few videos where you will be better again.
