James now limits his activities to avoid a possible flare-up.
Despite feeling like he's doing everything right, he worries that even a moderate flare-up could land him in the emergency room which is a sign his COPD is now severe. He has had multiple urgent care visits and conversations with his HCP after a scare.
James longs to find a treatment plan to help manage his COPD and return to focusing on what he enjoys—golfing, hosting, and connecting more.
James is not an actual DUPIXENT patient.
I'm constantly thinking about my COPD and a possible flare-up, and limiting time with friends and family, and hobbies I love—like golfing.
