This is a summary of the constant cycle of disorders that affect my husband Tom, making it impossible for him to work.
He is on Dupixent - an immune suppressing biological drug = high risk for Co-VID 19.
Brain Injury complications that affect severe Eczema skin disorder:
Short term Memory loss
Anxiety
Panic attacks
Depression
These disorders due to his brain injury cause severe Eczema skin flare ups resulting in cracked, bleeding/oozing hands, elbows, feet, neck and torso that can remain this way for several days to several weeks. Dupixent is used to treat the flare ups, however increase in anxiety sometimes caused by short term memory loss issues which can then lead to anxiety and to panic attacks which can result in a continued flare up or cause another after primary flare up subsides.
While flare up occurs, unable to work because open sores on skin and hands, can be very painful, itch and flake skin continuously. The flare ups in turn result in increase of anxiety, depression and can conclude with panic attacks causing missing more work. Can miss several days while having a panic attack, resulting in the cycle to continue.
Constant cycle - anxiety, anxiety due to short term memory issues, panic attacks, depression cause a skin flare up, which perpetuates the anxiety, panic attacks and depression, lengthening the skin flares ups or causing repeat episodes, causing more anxiety, depression and panic attacks, etc.
Other issues that can compound the constant cycle, causing an increase in anxiety, depression and panic attacks resulting in more skin flare ups:
Back problems which make it so can't lift over 25 pounds.
Hip replacement surgery also make it so can't lift items over 25 pounds. Hip replaced in March 2019.
Shoulder problems which make it so can't lift arm above head. Waiting to see specialist about this issue.
Has caused missed work due to these issues as well which in turn cause anxiety, depression and panic attacks that then cause a skin flare up.
