Flare Ups

Has anyone had flare ups while on a biologic? I had no flare ups on Humira, I've had two or three while on Cosentyx for three years

I had minimal flare ups on Humira but it affected my joints so I switched to Cosyntex. Since switching, I’ve had 3 terrible flare ups in three months. (I’m due to see my Derm in a week).

I've been taking Otezla for almost 2 years and I'm not going through a flareup with excruciating new joint pain. I am switching to Tremfya. My psoriasis is back so the Otezla stopped working.

I did while on Humira but it was caused by a bad case of strep throat not the Humira.
