The patient was in bed for 3 days due to fever, chills, and nausea. Patient reported having an asthmatic flare up (asthma) and stated that every year around this time her cough gets worse (cough) (onset date and latency: unknown) following the first dose intake of dupilumab due to the weather and seasons changing. On an unknown date, patient had a panic attack (panic attack) (unknown latency) right after she took Dupixent she noticed she was more confused. On an unknown date, confusion was much worse (confusional state) (condition aggravated) (unknown latency) following the first dose intake of dupilumab.

However, the consumer loses her voice slightly close to the time where she would take her next injection (aphonia) (unknown latency and onset) following the first dose intake of dupilumab. On an unknown date, patient's voice is noted to be hoarse and raspy(dysphonia) (unknown latency) and states that he weather changes will affect her voice ( sensitivity to weather change) (unknown latency) following the first dose intake of dupilumab. It was reported on follow-up "is having migraine headaches since yesterday; she does states that she has a history of migraines that had been intermittent since before starting Dupixent; patient's voice is noted to be hoarse and raspy; states that he weather changes would affect her voice; that was her case today and was a common thing with Asthma; In inquiring about what device she uses, she does say that she uses syringe, but she did mention previously at one point that she tried the auto-injecting pen, and at which point, she was saying that it was difficult to control the device more than the syringe offers better control than the pen; Currently the patient was using syringe and was planning to proceeding over with the prefilled syringe; She had attempted a pen previously, and didn't like how it was functional to her; said that the syringe was easier for her to control; so there's some lack of control with the pen versus the prefilled syringe.
