Ilumetri for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

Just took my two booster shots and realised it's one year I've been on Ilumetri, so time for an update.

I still get the odd psoriatic arthritis flare-up mostly when it's damp or at full moon, but it doesn't stay around long or get too bad, so I can say that it's doing what I wanted it to do.

Psoriatic arthritis score: I'll leave it at 2, but I'm happy.

Now for the psoriasis. The little patch on the side of my belly has completely gone, but the right shin has got worse which is a little annoying. Having said that I'm not over bothered by it and I do wonder if it's anything to do with it being the same leg where I still have the annoying ankle problem.



Psoriasis score: That's gone up from 1 to 3

Side effects: Nothing to report.

Next appointment in November, at the moment I'm thinking of going for another 6 months but that depends on what my dermatologist thinks.

All in all 1 year in and I'm happy as the psoriatic arthritis is the one I want to control and it's doing that.
