Update after third loading dose of two injections 160 mg Bimzelx today.
First off I'm going to say this stuff is amazing.
I hadn't realised how bad the psoriatic arthritis was and how much pain I was in, today I'm so happy and feeling like I'm getting a new life. I'm finding I'm moving a lot better and have even started doing more stuff that I had been putting off, like fixing the lawnmower and getting my man cave tidy (well almost)
I'm no longer having to ask Mrs Fred to open jars or bottle any more as it's a simple task just like it used to be. Still have a few struggles like lifting the door off to put some 3in1 in the hinges, I'm just not as fit as I was probably to not being able to do much this past couple of years.
It's even helping with my ankle problem, but that's another story and not related to psoriatic arthritis and I have an appointment tomorrow to see if they will inject something in there.
What bit of psoriasis I do have is now flat and is fading away which is a nice bonus.
Psoriasis score: 2
Psoriatic arthritis score: 1
*Notes from my locked thread: Four days after the last shot I got some itchiness on my chest and shoulders and some small raised spots, I was hoping it was not going the way of Cosentyx and giving me eczema but I have managed to get it down with coconut oil and some overt the counter antihistamines.
I will tell my dermatologist when I next see her, but if it happens again after this shot I may have to tell her sooner.
