Hello redsquirrel 
to Psoriasis Club and thank you for the best wishes. 
*I changed your title as we already have one for Bimzelx here: Bimzelx (bimekizumab)
I have found with all the Bio's it takes time for your body to get used to them, when it does the side effects get better or worse. Most dermatologists will change after 12 weeks if there is no improvement or you are still getting side effects you can't cope with.
4 lots of antibiotics sounds a lot to me and I'm wondering if it could have an effect on Bimzelx working, but you have not finished the loading doses so it's going to be difficult to tell.
Oral thrush is one of the side effects.
Disappointing they are not monitoring you properly, they should be and to be honest I would demand that they do so as it's still a new treatment.
Have you tried Stelara you may be more tolerant to that or another Bio.
I hope you get sorted soon.
Regards,
Fred.
