Hi, been fighting since 1980, tried it all. After 2 shots of Taltz it went away, . I was covered 60 % of my body. The shot is painful, but only for 1 min. Well worth it.  Smile

Take my advice; I don't use it anyway.

Welcome!

I found Taltz to be a bit painful when I tried it. Sadly it didn't work for me (none of the biologics have so far) but I'm really glad it's working so well for you. Thumb

It's well worth a little bit of pain to have the psoriasis clear up like that! And after only 2 shots, that's really good to hear.

Hope you have continued success with Taltz and be sure to keep us updated, we love to hear how things are going.

Hi Mikey and  Welcome  to the forum. It's good to read of a success story after battling psoriasis for so long to find a drug that works for you. I hope it goes on to give you long term clearance and you can enjoy life with a clear skin
Enjoy yourself here on the forum where we are all fellow sufferers of psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis and pleased to share out experiences of what works for us and here to offer support when things don't go to plan. If you have any questions just yell out and I'm sure one of our members will chip in with an opinion or an answer.
I hope to hear how well the treatment continues to work for you  in the coming months

Do have a look through the off topic section if you want some light hearted banter.

Hello Mikey62  Welcome to Psoriasis Club

Re the pain are you using the "Pen" type injection ? I ask because most find them more painful than the "Syringe"

Good luck with the Taltz, you are welcome to start a thread here Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis about your journey on it if you wish. It's a good way of keeping track of your progress and your input could help others.

I can recommend our monthly newsletter, if you want to subscribe see here: Newsletter

Regards.

Fred.

Hi Mikey nice to meet you Wave

I don’t recall Taltz being particularly painful, if you’re using a pen injector I suggest it’s less painful in the stomach area than the thigh and make sure it’s been out of the fridge long enough. Good news to hear it works for you!

Hi Mikey

Welcome to the club Wave 

Haven`t tried Taltz but glad it is working.  Hope it continues to work for a long time!

I agree with Turnedlight, I find injections less painful in the stomach
