Ilumetri for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

I think that when the weather is really damp, Fred, you should hop over to Tasmania or Spain and soak up some sun and warmth and then return when it's warmer back home.  

I'm glad you are feeling better.

Nah I prefer staying n Fred's World, all those people on planes and in towns would drive me nuts. Anyway Tasmania has some dodgy looking spiders, I could end up bringing one back to the Psoriasis Club office and it may get on Caroline's chair.

Is there a spider on my chair?

As long as it's not one of those HUGE spiders from Australia, I'll take care of it. But if it's anything other than a little one, sorry I'm out of here!

I'm not coming in until it's gone

Update time: Had my dermatology appointment today and after just over 1 hours consultation we are continuing for another 6 months.

No side effects to report.

Psoriasis Score remains at 1.

Psoriatic arthritis score goes down from 4 to 2.

Had a questionnaire for the trial I'm taking part in and a thorough examination.

I do have a little lump on my arm near the elbow, two doctors looked at it and decided it was nothing to worry about but I will be having it removed and sent for a test because of the trial I'm on.

It looks like a little nipple



I have also agreed to go and see the rheumatologist I dislike to see if she can do something about the inflammation on my ankle as it's starting to annoy me now, I'll see if I get an appointment as we didn't get on too well last time we met.

So six months in and I'm very pleased with Ilumetri.

I am still using Stelara but it sounds a really good alternative.

Much better than Stelara.

I am starting to lose ground, mind you I have been on Stelara for a long time now.
