Bimzelx for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

Come on over and help us with our gardens, too, Fred!  


Such good news that the Bimzelx is working so well!!!  

Thank you FW but I'll have to decline the offer as I have a lot on my list here.

Update time: Been a bit different this past 8 weeks with the psoriatic arthritis giving me a few problems, though not a big problem it's mostly the shoulders, wrists and knuckles. So unfortunately I'm going to have to up the psoriatic arthritis score from 1 to 2 and hope today's shots work a bit better.

On the other side the psoriasis has gone down from 2 to 1, so it's switcheroo.

No side effects to report and all in all I'm still happy. 

I don't think it's related to the Bimzelx but I am keeping a note that I have lost my appetite a little some days, no big deal it's nice to see my weight go down 3 Kg.

How high has your arthritis score been in the past?  

Nice to lose weight, but it would be nice to know why the appetite is waning.  I hope it's just part of getting older, like losing a desire for sweets.

It's been a lot higher but I can't remember how high, I just found this post and it was 21 [Group Specific]

I'm thinking it's just an age thing, but I'm not bothered as I just remembered this thread    [Group Specific]

The archives here are a good thing to hold on to, whether the club continues or not.  Your life with Psoriasis is right in these threads. When your PsA score was that high, you were suffering so much pain.  I'm really glad you are not in that much pain and immobility now.

Thank you FW, yes it's good to have something to look back on for comparison.

Well glad it's still working and hopefully your arthritis eases back down.

Thank you Kat, I can handle 2 and today I would say it's almost back down to 1. Psoriatic arthritis is the only reason I keep trying bio's, so they do need to do their thing or I'm off for the next one.

I never want to be back to not being able to dress myself, cut my own food or lift a cup to my lips.

Update time: Just had my two booster jabs, got a little bleeder this time but no big deal. I must have just got it in the wrong place or moved.

Anyway no real change and I'm still pleased with the way it's working, I still get the odd lock up especially whilst sleeping but I'm learning to live with that as movement helps. Also it's been a damp few weeks so I expected a few problems with the psoriatic arthritis, but not enough to stop me doing stuff.

Psoriatic arthritis score I will leave at 2, it's close to 1 but I think I need better weather for that to happen long term.

Psoriasis score I will leave at 1.

No side effects to report.

Got appointment end of this month for my check up.
