Tremfya for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

Ok four weeks have passed and I have just taken my next shot.

Psoriasis score before starting: 8 now 4

Psoriatic arthritis score before starting 14 now 8

I mentioned before starting that I felt like I had a mild cold, that never came to anything.

I also said I had bit of upset stomach, that has stayed much the same and sometimes I'm getting loose stools. It's not diarrhoea and it's not painful (which is listed as a side effect) and as I had it before going on to Tremfya I can't say it's that. With the Covid thing going on I'm not going to bother my doctor with it as it's isn't that bad, but I'm going to keep a note  and also cut down the alcohol intake for a while.

The annoying itchy redness stopped, but I did feel it again yesterday. Not sure if the Trefmya stopped it but it's a little better today. So I'm going to see if I can keep a food diary in case it's something I'm eating.

Apart from that I'm pleased with the way it's going and it definitely is helping with the psoriatic arthritis which is what I want.

Next shot in 8 weeks time, so if I do get Covid there is nothing I can do. But I'm not worried about it.
