That’s good news that it’s working. Do they only approve regular doses if it’s working on you? Or even if it’s working, do you struggle to get them to fund the maintenance dose?
I go back to my derm (nhs) after the 12 week loading period and if she doesn’t think it’s working I’ll get taken off it.
As to the painful injection - I find it’s ok in the stomach area, I did it once in the thigh and it was so painful, plus I got a reaction there which was hot and swollen for days, like a bad insect bite. But I haven’t had any reaction on the stomach area.
