Hi again. After a few years of bad side effects from oral treatment and then starting biological treatments. I am now on My 2nd attempt with injections. I am now on Taltz.
I have just had my 5th injection. My skin is well on the way to perfect. Just my lower legs to clear. Still early days.
No horrendous side effects the all other treatments. There is 2 side effects, 1 of which is listed a lot.
1. Injection site goes red. I mean a large circle if I inject my tummy and lumpy under the skin. It lasts between 1 and 2 weeks. Doesn't bother me.
2. My eyes have ached really badly on 2 occasions. The first time it came on rapidly with gritty eyes. I assumed it was allergy's and just put in eye drops. It was on and off for 1 week but only bad for 1 evening. Didn't think anything of it. Then it happened again 3 weeks later.
I phoned my GP and she said take anti histamine tablets as allergies can make them also ache. If still bothering me in 24 hours book with opticians as she cant see in the eye.
I phoned the opticians anyway. They said come in and they will look.
The next day my eyes were fine. The day after I had appointment at opticians.
Note I only have 1 good eye!!
Opticians said he couldn't find anything wrong other than the ware very slightly dry. Also needed prescription for distance. Even though I had them tested 2 month prior. This he found "interesting" As I write this, my eyes feel fine.
Most sites don't list eye problems but some sites do. In total it lists, redness, pain, selling of the eye or inner lining.
Obviously I will be talking to my dermatologist but I know all she will say is "do you want to continue on it"
I will now be taking the injection every month instead of every 2 weeks. So if it is Taltz I will soon find out.
HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD EYE ACHE USING TALTZ !!
Sorry for ranting on. Its just I was so pleased to have found something that works without side effects after all this time
