Now I'm on Stelara, only just started but I think I can see an improvement already. I think the different biologicals go for different t-cells or something, so if Humira doesn't work it doesn't mean another biologic won't work.
Good luck with the Humira!
That is correct TL.. some biologicals go for getting down the TNF (Tumor necrosis factor) levels, other bios block certain receivers on the cells, like IL-17 (Cosentyx) or IL-23.
Both approaches lower the expression of psoriasis in its two forms.
Did you ever do Fumaderm, Jamie?
It seems often to be skipped why the results are often very good.
