Tremfya for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

Good luck Fred, l hope it works well for you.

Thank you Craig

The fact that it is not approved, will not say that it wouldn’t work, luckily.
It only proves that paper and people around the paper are slow.
I did hear in the gossip trajectories, that the European rules on registration of new medicine by the way are being revised and will be speeded up.

No I know it doesn't mean it won't work, I was just saying that it is not prescribed for psoriatic arthritis at the moment: Tremfya going after psoriatic arthritis

As for speeding things up in Europe, that won't make the French go any quicker

Thank you Dave, it will be interesting to see if it helps the psoriatic arthritis. I'm not so bothered about the psoriasis, but as Cosentyx had stopped helping the psoriatic arthritis I feel I have nothing to lose by giving it a try.

Still using the Stelara but I am losing ground a little so I will be watching your progress Fred.

One week update. I think it is a good idea to give more regular updates when starting a new treatment as it has helped me in the past to look back.

Not a great deal has changed, but it is definitely kicking in as the psoriasis is a little less flaky and the psoriatic arthritis is very slightly easing. I know these signs from my use of bio's for around 12 years, and it is starting to work.

Looking back on my first post I mentioned a few things before taking my first shot, so I will update on those points but leave my scores as they are.

#1 The mild cold feeling has gone.

#2 The upset stomach did get a little worse and there was the odd moment that I felt I may not make it to the toilet, but that now seems to be calming down. So I can't say it was the Tremfya.

#3 The itchy redness did get better, but annoyingly still tries to pop back. Though having said that it is not as bad as it was.

Early days, but so far it looks like it is heading in the right direction.

That sounds promising fred lets hope it continues to improve and you get the arthritis under control as well as the plaques

Let's hope the annoying itchy bumps disappear as well
Great update
