Taltz - Kat's journey continues

But doesn’t your heart rythm always change during the day? At least mine does. 

Would at least be interesting to see the effects of laser therapy. I don’t understand the idea behind it.

Annoying that options are diminishing, gives an unhappy feeling.

I guess there are changes and then there are "CHANGES"!

Actually I'm not sure and my guess is that the two days wearing the monitored showed nothing or I would have received a call. It has to do with some lightheaded stuff going on. At first it was ear crystals and then he said he thought it could be something with my heart rhythm, he said sometimes it's just tweaking medication and other times it's due to an issue.

According to the dermatologist, the lazer therapy is much better for scalp than just light therapy as they can direct it to the psoriasis itself whereas with hair covering it's hard to the light therapy to reach those areas.

I don't expect it to work honestly BUT... when she gave me the topical (Talconex) to use while we were waiting for insurance to approve Stelara back when I had that big flare, I told her the last topical they gave me didn't work and I will admit the Talconex helped a lot! It still helps a little with itching if I use it, but I seem to be at the stuck place I can't get past. Anyway I didn't think it would help and yet it did so I hope I am just as wrong now and the lazer therapy helps.

Of course even if it does then there's that threat of psoriatic arthritis, which I will get more info on in November when I have that discussion. I want clarification on "do I have" vs "maybe I have". It may not be a definitive answer yet, but I need a better one than I currently have. I don't know how much emphasis at this time the medication needs to be aimed towards it honestly. And if the lazer therapy doesn't help with the skin, then I'm going to need to keep trying till I find what works, but perhaps there is too much worry at this moment on getting one that helps with psoriatic arthritis. Even the nurse said some people have good results with meds that although they aren't prescribed for more than the skin ailment, patients have said it's help with their arthritis too.
