Bimzelx for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

Wonderful results that’s probably one of the best treatments for you to date.

Thank you Mata, yes so far I would say it has been. Stelera was good on and off for around 6 years but we ended up having to play with the dose and the time between shots.

But yes so far, I'm taking it as a win.

Maintenance dose update.

The psoriatic arthritis started slowly creeping back a couple of weeks ago and today I have to go from zero to 3 on my score, it's not too bad but today with it being damp it is playing up a little in my shoulders wrists and fingers. Hopefully the shots will soon kick in, but as long as it doesn't get any worse I can live with it.

Psoriasis is still at zero, if only it could be the other way around as I would rather have psoriasis than psoriatic arthritis. But all in all I'm still very happy with Bimzelx.

Next update will be in 8 weeks, that will be two years on it.

Okay so you had your shot today.
Great that it still is going so well… as damp weather can influence you.

I wish it was the other way around as well I hate arthritis.

Well, I know that there are people with a terrible psoriasis, which also influences your psychological well being.. they suffer very much too..
But indeed… I also hate the arthritis more..

Yes psoriasis can get you down, but I would rather be covered in it than have to put up with psoriatic arthritis.

Also with psoriasis you can hide it, but with psoriatic arthritis there is no hiding it from anyone. 

On the bright side, thanks to the Bio's especial Bimzelx I'm nowhere near as bad as I was 20 years ago. Mrs Fred was helping me get dressed, I couldn't hardly lift a full cup and I wasn't far off asking for a wheelchair.

It's great that it's still working, but sad your score went up. Hopefully this injection will help get your arthritis back under control.

Thank you Kat, it's already coming down. I may have to make a note, I remember playing with the dose on Stelara

I thought there was a variable dose that was monthly for bigger people… maybe I’m wrong?
