Hi everyone,
I wanted to introduce myself. I've had psoriasis for about 30 years, started as guttate and progressed into plaque. It's pretty much everywhere - scalp, arms, legs, front, back, ears, and even little bits on the palms of my hands. I'd been taking MTX, 10mg a week for about a year, and that had damped it down a bit. Still having flareups while on it, including a recent one which has been the mother of them all. The itching and burning is driving me mad, and it's having quite a serious affect on my mental wellbeing.
I have my regular appointment at the hospital with the derm tomorrow (in the UK), and I'm really keen to try Taltz after what I've read about it. I wondered if anyone else is in the UK here, and managed to get it? I'm worried my request is going to get turned down.
Any help would be very welcome.
