Ilumetri for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

I’m sorry to hear this, it’s all so familiar.. I don’t know how some manage to keep going with one treatment for years.

Thank you TL I managed 6 years on Stelara but as the psoriatic arthritis got worse it failed, since then I just can't seem to get one that works well.

Do you get any strong prescription pain relievers to help ease that pain for a while?

I can get tramadol or similar FW, but I won't take them.

Sorry to hear that Fred, it worries me as time goes on. What alternative treatments have you still got to try.

You have plenty to try Dave there are 10 more since Stelara.

There's always DMF Fred. I know you don't fancy it but seriously it's served me well for the last 10 years without a blip. The only time I get a bit of a flare is if I forget to take my tablets or when I'm stressed and had a slight flare recently which lasted about a week when a few plaques burst out and my joints got sore  before I got it under control by taking an extra tablet in the evening.
 

Two things Jim. #1 It's not available here on prescription and #2 I wouldn't take it if you paid me.
