Apremilast Cowsaregreat - Cowsaregreat - Tue-21-06-2022
Saw my dermatologist couple of weeks ago. He’s suggested going onto Apremilast. Methotrexate helped clear some of my p up but as soon as I went down to 22.5 mg more came back. Blood tests for methotrexate showed my liver (whatever it is they test it for!) was rising. After ultrasound and fibroscan it’s come back not related to methotrexate but NAFLD. Marvellous! Anyway, now waiting to see if they’ll prescribe Apremilast. Fingers crossed!

Good luck Cowsaregreat, if you haven't do so you can find out more about it here: Otezla
I have changed your thread title as we have a few "apremilast" ones, if you would prefer it called something else let me know.
Fred.

Hi cowsaregreat I hope the dermatologist prescribes you with the otezla and it helps clear up the psoriasis quickly
I look forward to hearing how you get on with it

Hope the new treatment works.
I looked NAFLD....it can be caused by MTX.

RE: Apremilast Cowsaregreat UPDATE! - Cowsaregreat - Mon-29-08-2022
So, I got prescribed Apremilast and started on Thursday last week. No side effects as yet BUT my psoriasis seems to be getting worse. I know it’ll take time to settle into the medication but my skin is even more drier and my plaques are sooooo dry and itchy (they weren’t itchy before!). I’m hoping it’ll all settle down in the next month or so but is it normal for the p to get worse before it gets better?!
