Kat's Skyrizi Journey Part 2

[Kat]

So a quick update.  I would say psoriasis is about the same, at a standstill some days are good, others are itchy and I can't say Skyrizi has helped, but I also haven't gone backwards so perhaps it is keeping things stable.  I do feel the shampoo helps.

I have noticed this has been a year of sickness for me.  Nothing major or bad but quite a few cold/sinus etc events, some sore throats etc and honestly things I usually managed to avoid getting in the past has caught up with me this year.  Bascially if someone in the house is sick, I'll follow.  I can't help but wonder if Skyrizi is to blame for my increased lack of immunity to things going around.  I guess there is no sure way to know, but right now my thought is to just come of off it honestly.  I have one more injection this year before re-evaluating whether to see if I'm eligible for another year or not on their patient program but as of now I'm thinking I just want to be done with it honestly. 

Anyway, this cold is breaking up and I was just starting to feel better but now it's a bit worse.  Sorry I haven't been around much this past week.

See what else are options and move along… I think you have given it a fair try.

I think so too. Something tells me my dermatologist is going to disagree. Last time I "hinted" at stopping and was told that Skyrizi is the best option for scalp psoriasis. And she wanted to give me injections on my plagues. I didn't like that idea, not because of getting injections, although the idea didn't thrill me, but the injecting meds that she admitted was a short term solution and could need repeating over and over again just was a no from me. I'm expecting our next conversation to be very similar to that one.
