I started my new med Skyrizi my first dose was on May 27 th two shots then the end of June 27th i had two more shots
Now I don't take another two the end of September.I am starting to heal up my skin is healing. I had 60% coverage on my body i have to be careful cause these Biologics lower our immune systems.
I only go to the grocery store and Pharmacy then back home. I wear my mask everywhere and sterilize my hands and the grocery cart! Because of the Covid threat


 
would you believe it cost $38,000 for two shots I have insurance  but if stops paying the company sent me a card to use and Skyrizi will cover it for me!

Good to read Glenda  that Skyrizi is working for you and you are getting relief from the psoriasis
It is a worry with the covid virus still about but there is no evidence that we are at a greater risk if taking a biological treatment

Same here! It's one the dermatologist has discussed a few times with me, the rheumatologist not so much on board so hoping you prove him wrong!!

It sounds positive, perhaps it might take a bit longer to work on your psa..
Amazing to hear they will cover the costs.

By the way you wouln't believe what it cost for 2 shots $31,000 thank God i have insurance.I also applied with the company and they sent me a card to use $15 deductible.I am very thankful for all the help I have been getting. My skin isn't completely healed but better than it was,I had it so bad i couldn't law down on my skin.Now if it kicks for my psoriasis I will be a happy camper!
Thanks everyone for all the good vibes will let you know what the DR says on the 7th.Happy Forth to one and all! 18
