Tremfya for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Caroline]

Certainly looking a lot better Fred let's hope it's the tremfya getting things better. The skin seems to be responding and your swollen finger doesn't look as sore.

I've cut down a lot on alcohol as well it seems like a sensible thing to do as goodness knows when I'll be able to restock and it's better for my liver not to drink as much .
I agree with keep taking the shots Fred I'm sure it won't affect whether we get the virus or not ...who knows it might even give a degree of protection

Thank you Jim. Yes I think it is working, life is getting a bit easier working in the garden again which is nice.

I didn't hesitate to take my shot due to covid, I have not seen enough evidence that it will make things any worse and my dermatologist hasn't been in touch.

Yes we all know alcohol isn't good for psoriasis and although I class myself as a drinker, I'm not an alcoholic as I never drink on a Monday or before 18:30 but I'm going to go for no alcohol till Friday .................. But I think it may be Thursday first. 

As for the finger it has gone down a lot and no longer painful.

Looks very good Fred. Certainly good that your finger is doing better. Yes, we know it... as long as the Psoriatic Arthritis is under control that is the main thing. The psoriasis under control is a nice extra bonus.

Most of what I drink is in the psoriasisclub bar. In real life I hardly drink any alcohol, perhaps only twice a week a glass of wine. The advantage is that I constantly feel fit and clear and the disadvantage of drinking a glass is that I totally become sleepy after one glass. I drank much more previously every evening, but I found out that I started to wake up in the middle of the night feeling all warm and inconvenient. That has stopped now.
