I know it's easy to say, but try not to let it get you down. It takes time to find the right treatment for each patient and there is no one suit fits all as far as psoriasis goes.
I got to the point of thinking I would never have clear skin but Stelara did give me clear skin. I also got to the point of thinking I may never be able to live a normal life again because the psoriatic arthritis was taking over, but Cosentx has got rid of the psoriatic arthritis.
Unfortunately Cosentyx isn't working so well for the psoriasis, but I'm happy being rid of psoriatic arthritis and have decided to keep with it for a while longer.
What I'm trying to say is. It's all about management and finding what works for you. I still haven't found a treatment that gives me 100% satisfaction, but getting near is better than putting up with it. (I tried that for many years and it doesn't work)
Don't dislike yourself, it will not help and will only make things worse. Positive attitude and move on to the next stage is the way to go. The next one may work , but if it doesn't there are more treatments to try and many more in the pipeline.
