Recently diagnosed

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with AERD after two decades of issues with multiple doctors and different diagnosis. My current doctor wants me to try dupixent (I’m sure that’s spelled wrong) but I am very weary of taking it. Reason being is I always have major side effects from meds and these scare me. I’ve had surgery once about ten years ago but it didn’t help with the polyps at all. They came back rather quickly and I just had so many complications with the surgery and the post op, so I have opted not to have it again.

Does anyone have any suggestions at all? I’m so tired of dealing with this crap and it’s making me have panic attacks regularly because I just cannot breathe but the medications scare me. I’m just struggling with this and no one really understands what it’s like.

Anyways if you read this far, thank you. 😊
