Tremfya for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

damn I replied to this last night but couldn't have posted it

Sorry to hear it seems to be failing you Fred I hope they can do the shots closer together to give you longer on the tremfya as it was going well for you .
There aren't that many options open to you as they don't like you going back to a treatment once it's failed ...I hope at your next appointment they will suggest a way forward although there aren't many you haven't tried
But good luck with the quest for a long term fix

Fat fingers again Jim 

Yes it was going well, but this is a big hit at the moment. And no she has said if I went on to Tremfya I couldn't go back to Cosentyx. 

Oh bugger. That is not good news at all.
Two questions; can you reduce the time period between shots? and where can you go from here?

Self medication Mmmmmm .........

Yes John we could try a reduction in weeks, I have done that with most bio's in the past ........................ it may work.

Where do I go from here? Good question, the other options available for me are either another IL 17 or IL 23. But I have tried those in a different brand, so ................................. I'm not sure.

As for self medication: Nooooooooo Only fools and Bill do that, and don't even ask me about diet or lifestyle change. 

Sorry to hear that Fred, have you been overdoing it lately such as to much gardening .
I know that the weather does effect the sodding thing and it's a bugger.
I hope that it settles down a bit , time to put your feet up for a while.
Have a couple extra , I know that not sleeping starts to really catch up with you,it does me.
Take care and hopefully it's just a glitch.

I did wonder if I had done too much recently, I have been getting another veggie patch going. But I don't usualy get this much pain. 

I'm going to rest up for the rest of this week and keep positive to see if I can win, but yes a good sleep would be nice. I usually sleep very well, but at the moment it's not good.

Had this damn thing for around 40 years now and it never stops popping back to remind you it's still your buddy. .................... Ha I need Merlot.
