Thanks for the update Dave
Great to know the Humira is still working Dave and you are now able to do things that you havent been able to do for years ....it's certainly doing well for you ...

What about the skin is it clearing your psoriasis ? Or is it Psoriatic Arthritis  only that you have ?

Ok, so the two biggest areas of psoriasis I had were on my right shin and above the tailbone in 2 patches, but I consider that one.  The shin patch shrunk from about 4 inches to 2 inches along its longest axis.  The area above my tailbone did not shrink, rather the severity of the psoriasis decreased, but it's still there.  I also have 2 small areas that improved slightly but did not go away:  one behind the right ear and the other at the base of my hairline on the back of my head, which is about 1/2 inch in diameter at most.  Tough to say how much those cleared since I can't see them, but it wasn't all that much, although they don't flake and they used to.  None of the areas flake.

All other areas cleared 90-100% which is great because even though the others were pretty small in size, they were moderate to severe.  Those areas were elbows, knees, right thigh on the outside, left thigh underside, and the small of my back.
