The saying: “Don’t fix what is not broken” , may be very relevant over here. Why change, if things are working well… I don’t get that.
It is thinkable that Humira was good working for both Crohns and psoriasis. The change apparantly spoiled this.
If you read the forum extensively, but that is a hell of a job, then you will see that Humira, just like many other medications/biologics, at a certain point loses its working. The reason for that is that in the end the body/immune system starts to make anti-bodies against it. After which it loses effectivity and you have to switch to a different bio, of which there are more an more.
There are already combination therapies where Biologicals and an immunosuppressor, mostly mtx, are used with the goal to prevent the body to make anti-bodies.
Hope that in your case, they can find some that works for both Crohns and psoriasis
