At least we're still young enough to see these changes and to experience them.   Much better than the old days Jim.  

Don't get me started

I just stopped Taltz after a year on it,  It cleared my psoriasis fast, but within 6 months, plaques started returning.  FYI, Cosentyz did the same thing for me.  Worked great at start.  Full clearance, then slowly but surely, they came back.  

My Dr. is looking at Otezla.  i have tried almost everything else out there.  Remicade, Humira, Enbrel, Topicals, PUVA light treatment.  So far nothing has been able to last.

Hi otezla might be a good option there aren't many yet .... more but lots of new ones in the pipeline
I have answered you on your other post here RE: Taltz close to psoriatic arthritis approval in Europe

Sounds like what's happening with me, nothing lasts more than a year.. just about to try Taltz next.

You don't mention Stelara. If you haven't tried that, it may be worth a try as it has different targets to the TNF's and IL17

I did Stelara too.  

Hoping for insurance approval of Otezla.  I have the starter pack, ready for the go signal from Blue Cross.  

Winter is the worst.

Good luck with Otezla. Don't forget you're welcome to start a new thread in Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis about your journey, it's a good way of keeping track and your input could help others.

Kmitchell has your derm ever tried putting you back on something which has failed? I was wondering if a drug can work again after a break or once your body has got used to it, does it never work again?
