Almost 6 weeks into my Rx for Humira at this point. My injection is every other week, and have my 4th overall coming up this Saturday.
Psoriatic arthritis remains very well under control. I am thrilled with this at this point, as that was the hardest aspect to deal with. I'd say I'm at 80-90% here.
The psoriasis -- overall, it is significantly better, without a doubt. There seems to be some ebb and flow characteristics with it, as it appears to make slight resurgences here and there, but the key word is slight. It remains better than before I started the drug, even when it tries to flare up a little. The plaques are far less scaly, but the overall sizes remain unchanged. When I was on Otezla, the sizes decreased.
Side effects - no more nausea/dizziness. It was just a one time deal, and I'm not even certain it was from the drug. It only lasted a couple of hours.
I was worried about the compromised immune system, but so far so good. Then again, cold and flu season here in the States has not been very severe at all, so I'm sure that has helped.
Hope everyone is well.
