Did Anyone Here Recently Change Their Biologic Treatment For Psoriasis Or Psoriatic Arthritis?
Members have shared different experiences with options including Bimzelx, Cosentyx, Skyrizi, and Taltz, etc. What have you tried, and what has the experience been like for you?
I have pustular psoriasis, one of the most severe forms, and I completely stopped biological treatments because I noticed that instead of controlling it properly, it caused a lot of changes in my immune system, and the lesions kept coming back every time I missed a treatment. It caused side effects such as a runny nose, constant burning in my eyes, loss of sleep, and worst of all, I never fully recovered. What I did was take a natural alternative. I follow an anti-inflammatory diet, drink natural herbal tea, and also took a natural medicine for leaky gut. If anyone reads this, look into it. An important tip is that if you don't sleep well, your body doesn't renew itself. Right now, I take melatonin and sleep fantastically, and I think I'm better off than I ever was with biological treatments. Take care of your organs if you continue with biological treatments, and get regular checkups. If anyone has any questions, I'm happy to answer them. I hope we can all live in peace with this diseas

I have been on Humira for nine months (twice a month). I had to take a break from it due to extensive back surgery. Resuming again and not so sure it has been working. I also was taking Methotrexate. Stopped for surgery and don't want to take again because all of my hair was falling out.
I just switched from Rinvoq to consentyx. I’m so happy! All my pain and fatigue is gone. I haven’t felt this good in 6 years. Strongly encourage anyone whose med is not doing a good job to try another. It was not a good month coming off Rinvoq and waiting for cosentyx to kick in. Kinda forgot what full blown disease felt like but it was so worth it. My rheumatologist did give me a steroid shot to get through the worst of it and I am just so happy to have my disease under control now
Yep, Abbvie no longer provided my Humira after January 1. Something that apparently affected most folks on Medicare. I used Humira for several years and it was effective in treating my plaque psoriasis. I've been using Cosyntex for four months, and it is not as effective for me as Humira was.
Has Anyone Tried A GLP! For Psoriasis And Psoriatic Arthritis Instead Of A Biologic Such As Tremfya? Has It Been Effective?
Curious How Fast Tremfya Takes To Work? Like When Will I Notice A Difference? I Know Everyone Is Different. But For You, When Was It?
