Caroline is the secret agent around here me, I just bluff it out as I go along.

But yes psoriatic arthritis can ruin your life, I think there is an American version but if you ever get chance to watch the original British version of "The Singing Detective" which may be a bit weird to some but the actor Michael Gambon played the part very well in one of the episodes in a wheelchair.

I thought she might be a secret agent hahaha I will check out that show.

Sorry you are itchy and they are really bad places to be itchy! I hope the antihistamine helped!

Getting there Rosie thank you.

Update time, just took my two maintenance shots, I'm now at month 20 and I'm still very happy with the results.

I do have two very small bits of psoriasis about the size of my small fingernail, one on my right foot and one on my back. They turned up about a week ago (so almost at the end of my last shots) but a little bit of diprosone will soon get it down and in about a week they will probably be gone, so I'm going to leave the psoriasis score at zero as you can hardly see any.

Now for the psoriatic arthritis which is the main reason I'm taking Bimzelx and this has been the best 8 weeks since starting it, and apart from a little bit of stiffness at night if it's damp I can also put the psoriatic arthritis score down to zero.

I've also out of interest just done the PQOLS score and got a zero on that too, so that's 3 Zero's for me this month. 

No side effects to report, next maintenance shots in 8 weeks.

Thank you Kat.

For the arthritis, do you think this drug improved for you the longer you were on it?  20 months in and you have just had the best 8 weeks since starting it.  So even with the August physical exertions for garden and home, it is still the best 8 weeks so far.  That's wonderful!

Thank you FW, there have been a few ups and downs but yes I would say it's just keeps getting better. Time will tell, but for now I'll take it.

Wonderful results that’s probably one of the best treatments for you to date.
