Real-world evidence in Australian psoriasis patients using Humira

[Waine]

So far at the 3 month mark I'm still experiencing good response to physical symptoms of PsA on Humira. My initial blood tests showed a remarkable improvement in CRP and NLR. I'm due for follow up tests at the end of the month. 

Anecdotally I does seem that the pain response in my fingers is perhaps not as great as it initially was. But then my previous Doctors did allow poison  MTX to continue for years, even though my finger joints are very deformed. I am intrigued as to what the next blood tests reveal.

So I had to get blood work done for my upcoming surgery. These are the most interesting inflammation markers.

They are before starting Humira, 1 month after and now 3 months after

CRP - 11.9 -----1-------1.1
Neutrophils - 83.9-----60.6-----62.0
Lymphocytes - 8.5------23.7----22.1
NLR - 9.87----2.56----2.81
