Is it good, is it bad?
Hey, that's great that U tried it, sorry to hear about the versed reactions though. I am at one with this condition. I do not see any reason to pursue some antidote that will claim to fix it.... though tempting as it is, I have learned that maybe it's best just to let sleeping dogs lie.🐶 I know there's some controversy of this Issue when it comes to "needing to fix it" or " getting on the right biologic" but in my good perspective ..... this is just about being human. Disease mongering/fear mongering do not amuse me in the 21st century..
I've had plaque and scalp psoriasis for 40 years, started treating with topicals and UV for many years, with a few good periods of remission. Have tried Otezla ( improved my skin, reduced inflammation and less flares but I have separate issues with gerd and whether coincidental or not I developed a nightly cough about 3-4 weeks in, with blood tinged regurgitation so I stopped soon thereafter, and back to topicals - and the night coughing stopped when i stopped the Otezla). I started on Sotyktu in Sept 25 (massive bout of hives and stomach upset after 4 days of taking but my plaque psoriasis improved remarkably- after only 4 days, when results should normally take weeks- bizarre, but the hives as a substitute wasn't a pleasant experience). I stopped the Sotyktu tablets at my dermatologist recommendation until hivesgot under control.
STarted back on Sotyktu a few weeks later, no hives this time, within 2 weeks 80% clear, now at 12 weeks, even my scalp psoriasis is almost clear...at 95% clear full body. One side effect is an acne rash, a first for me, managing it with a 1 to 4 mix of tea tree oil and coconut oil. Interestingly, i had cause to take some certrizine (zyrtec) for an unrelated allergy and my facial acne completely cleared for the duration....will be checking if this could be a safe long term solution to control this side effect while on the Sotyktu.
I have obviously found what is right for me to control my psoriasis (at this time), of course we are all different, but worth considering.
Long story i know, but it may help someone else in making their own decisions.
