@Hummimgbird914 How did your appointment go? Did your rheumatologist agree to try something else?
That's unfortunate about your ex and Enbrel. But, like you said we are all different. I have had no problems with Enbrel and feel like it basically controls the PsA for me. Once in a while I'll get an ache but I don't have that feeling that my body is destroying itself ..in fact, I feel pretty damn good!
@A MyPsoriasisTeam Member. I am afraid to try Enbrel because my ex-husband had a horrible side affect from it. It caused pustular psoriasis with other pretty severe symptoms. I know that no two people are the same and most likely not experience the same symptoms, so maybe I really need to read up on it for myself. Right now, I am looking at Bimzelx. I am going to take my next scheduled dose of Taltz on the 26th just in case it may be helping in the smallest way, but I have an appointment with my rheumatologist on March 12th, and I will let her know I want to try another biologic in hopes it will make a difference. Something has to help me. I swear I can feel this disease eating away at my body continuing to cause more & more irreversible damage. It's been active for more than 20 plus years. Who knows....probably my entire life of 65 years. Obviously, I was born with it but never knew until I was 62 years old. Just shoot me...🤪
You have tried a lot, Hummingbird914!!!
I lucked out and my first one worked...Enbrel. It has changed my life! I was just thinking about how I just wrapped up 2 full years with no major flares, no swollen knees, ankles, or feet. I was a teenager since the last time I went this long being able to walk, and I turn 50 this year.
What biologic options are available after trying Humira, Cosentyx, Orencia, and Taltz for psoriatic arthritis affecting the feet?
Since you've tried TNF inhibitors (Humira), IL-17 inhibitors (Cosentyx, Taltz), and a T-cell inhibitor (Orencia) without success, there are still several biologic options to discuss with your Show Full Answer
