Taltz - Kat's journey continues

[Kat]

Tremfya is busy being researched for Psoriatic Arthritis, they are close to registration. So that might be a direction.

Psoriatic Arthritis is difficult to diagnose. They say:
- bad nails..
- sore finger joints
- it often seems to start in the tendons, think of the Achilles
- infection of the small joints in your feet
- people that have it very bad, can also have it in knees and hips,

Perhaps Fred can add to this.

P.s. too bad that Taltz didn’t do it for you.. 

And the Achilles is where my pain is located. My nails have ridges but I think are more associated with aging. I do have sore finger joints (pretty sure it's arthritis however might be osteo)

Knees are bad but those are most definitely osteo arthritis!

I think the rheumatologist is trying to be on the safe side. My ankles get very stiff and loosen up with movement whereas my knees hurt but aren't stiff every single time they've been inactive for 5 minutes like the ankles do. Anyway, not sure what all he based it on as it's been a fairly new discussion and one that I've only had once at the end of my appointment. I will have quite a few questions for him next time!
