I'm not totally sure which way to go. I am one that relies on the advice of doctors unless I have a strong reason not to and hope to hear from the rheumatologist today.
I didn't think of "why" 12 weeks is better or worse, only that it means I get longer before dealing with it.
Still not sure I understand the reasoning. (I also don't know why one is 12 weeks and others are 4 weeks either so no surprise there 
) I understand that at 12 weeks it is in my system for around that time and I guess at 4 weeks it's less time in my system so that if I get ill then I have a period where I have less drug in my system so perhaps a stronger immune system to fight with? I guess that makes sense.
The thing I struggle with is that although it doesn't look bad, I itch like crazy!! I'm tired of being out somewhere and going to the rest room just so I can scratch my head because I'm starting to wonder what people behind me must think about all my scratching. Glancing down and trying to discreetly brush the white stuff off my shirt or adding yet another top to my "don't wear in public" attire. And I'm sorry to complain but I am disappointed as I really had hopes this past year that being on biologics would take care of my stubborn scalp psoriasis. I don't want to try another one, but I also don't plan to give up. I am dealing with a bit of frustration today it seems.
Dermatologist just called wanting to know if I spoke with the rheumatologist yet. Guess I'll try calling them back today.
