SHERRI: When I was gardening, I would have to take frequent breaks.

My itch and rash felt like it was burning, felt like my arms were on fire, hot and red.

I felt like I had to cover my arms because of my rash.

I'm Sherri and I have moderate to severe eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis.

This is my husband, Mike.

MIKE: I would notice that she was constantly scratching and itching her arms...and I know she was aware of it, but she just couldn’t stop doing it.

SHERRI: So, I was recognizing this was more than just an itch. I would wake up during the night itching.

And that’s when I thought it was time to see a professional.

I started seeing Dr. Seminara in January 2023. Dr. Seminara is different from other doctors I’ve seen because she took the time to listen to me.

DR. SEMINARA: I wanted to make sure that Sherri got the right treatment for her itch and her rash.

Things that alerted me that she’d be a good candidate for RINVOQ were the fact that she was on a systemic medication, she was still scratching at work, I could still see on her skin that she had active rash.

SHERRI: Being on RINVOQ means I have significantly less itch and rash.

DR. SEMINARA: So, to me Sherri’s relief is a success.

It was such a relief and it made me so happy to see how well Sherri was doing, particularly because she had failed other medications in the past.

SHERRI: Dr. Seminara, thank you so much for helping me find a treatment that has worked for my eczema.

I am not afraid to show my skin, my arms, and my back. I'm comfortable being outdoors and not scratching and itching myself anymore. I feel less self-conscious.

MIKE: I love it when she’s gardening because I know she’s in her happy place...our yard looks amazing, and I do nothing. True story.

SHERRI: I wanted to share my story because it is my nature to want to help others and knowing what I went through, I know I'm not alone. If I can share my story and my experience and my journey through eczema, I'm happy to share it if I can help one other person.
