Tremfya for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

I'm not certain but my understanding in the US is that Tremfya is available, but not yet prescribed for psoriatic arthritis.  I could get it from the dermatologist but I don't think the rheumatologist would prescribe it (we discussed it and he said it's not yet approved for psoriatic arthritis...  although he didn't say he wouldn't or couldn't prescribe it) 

I will be very interested in how it works for you Fred!  I'm not crazy about going to TNF inhibitors and if Tremfya helps you with both then it would definitely be something I'd discuss with the doctors.

Good luck! 

Thank you Kat. So far it's going well, the psoriasis is definitely getting less flaky and the psoriatic arthritis does seem to be easing a bit but it's only been two weeks so a bit early to say.

I can't take the TNF's as I kept getting reactions to them.
