Taltz close to psoriatic arthritis approval in Europe

[jiml]

I started Taltz a little over a year ago.  Cleared my plaque psoriasis fast.  Was incredible.  Then after about 6 months.  A few spots started coming back.  Then a few more.  Then full raging Psoriasis.  Legs covered again.  Might even be worse than before.  Pulled the plug on it in October.  

I think each dose was $8,000 or so.  Thank goodness for insurance.  But what a disappointment.  

I don't know if I developed anti-bodies or what made it stop.  i did have similar results with Cosentyx.  Maybe my immune system is too powerful.  

Don't know where to go next.  My legs, particularly near ankles and knees burn like someone is hitting me with a belt sander whenever I bend.

Hi and welcome to the club....I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing failure on the latest types of biological drugs ....I'm assuming that before you were on Cosentyx and Taltz that you had failed on the others like Humira and Stelara .....
It's difficult to know where you go from there, I don't think the DMF drugs are available to you in the U.S. yet
But it might be worth asking about Skilarence and see if it has approval by the FDA.
. Apart from that you could look through the current treatments that are available here Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis

The other thing to try is diet that might help cutting certain foods out, take a look at The anti-inflamatory food pyramid
One other thing is to get a good quality coconut oil to moisturise with

Good luck
