Hiya everyone!

[ct0721]

Hi Everyone, I'm new here, and wonder why I'd never stumbled across this forum in my searches before. From what I've seen thus far the community seems awesome, and very helpful. I found the forum searching for info on Taltz. I recently started Humira but more about that later. 

I recently turned 40, this month, lol. I was first suspected of having Psoriasis around 28... undiagnosed. Looking back I now think it started back in my early 20's it was slow to progress. Most recently (past 2 years) developing on my knees, elbows, and hands. I couldn't hide it anymore. 

I tried multitudes of creams and home remedies. None ever really worked, and never really worked for more than two weeks. 

I finally found a derm that seems to care, and he put me on Humira. I've done my loading dose of 2 pens followed by 1 pen 8 days later. In two weeks I begin the normal dosing of 1 pen every two weeks. 

I was about to say well thats who I am, but then I would be saying that psoriasis defines me. Which it doesn't... anymore. 

So far I'm happy with the results from Humira. More so than any other treatment I've tried.

Thank you for the warm welcome Jim!! 

Re: Taltz I am going to ask my derm about it at my follow up. Of course that depends on the efficacy of the Humira. my follow up is in Novemeber. 
So far I'm pleased with the Humira, but the 100% clearance in some patients from Taltz has definitely caught my eye.

Hello CT   to Psoriasis Club.

You haven't stumbled across us before because we don't advertise, we are not money driven and have no share holders or sponsors to keep happy. We also don't go out of our way to promote ourselves as we prefer people such as you to find us through a bit of work on their part. By doing that it means we are attracting genuine people as opposed to spammers and scammers who get thrown out of the door.

I hope the Humira works well for you, and you are welcome to start your own thread in Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis to monitor your journey if you wish.

Regards.

Fred.
