Hello Pyzchiva (from Stelara)

[Angie]

Hi All

Started Pyzchiva on 18th June 2025, thought I would wait to see how it
was going before posting.

Well maybe a coincidence but had a slight headache on and off for about 5
days afterwards.

I have had pain in one shoulder , slightly progressing down arm some days
for about 4 weeks.  I sometimes suffer neck pain etc and blame it on pillows,
lifting etc.  Slight pain in one knee.  I have never been diagnosed with any type of arthritis,
I suffer from aches and pains but put that down to age! this time the pain is not for
going away, I await next jag to see if there is any difference.  I do not have
any swelling of fingers etc.

Skin remains the same as when taking Stelara, small bit appears on elbow and
goes again.  Flakes in ear remain the same.

No other issues or notable side effects.

Due next dose this week and will keep this thread updated.

Hope you are all well.

Hello Angie good to see you again, I have put a link to this thread in your old one. 

I'm surprised they have moved you from Stelara to Pyzchiva as it's a biosimilar of Stelara, I can only think it's due to cost and I would have thought you will get the same result you had from Stelara.

The headache and pain could be from other ingredients in Pyschiva and it may take your body a little time to get used to it.

I hope it works as well as Stelara for you, and look forward to your updates as I think you are our first member to be taking it.

Good luck.

Thanks Fred.

Yes definitely down to cost, apparently quarter of the Stelara cost.

Fingers crossed.

Oh did you see I started thread under help, couldn’t delete it
