For me it could only be a Bio, they gave me my life back. I was at a point where I could hardly move, I could not dress myself easily or lift a cup to drink from. That all changed after my first bio (Remicade) and since then I have stayed on Bio's, having said that they can stop working but I've never experienced those bad days again and there is always another Bio to try.
But what you have to remember is "We are all different" what works for me may not work for you, I have found that most of the Bio's work for both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Some are better than others, some fail quicker than others, it's all about trying to find the one that gives you the best results till it fails.
If pushed I would say: Stelara, Coesntyx or Tremfya but again that is only my opinion from what I have tried over the years.
Sounds like you have a good relationship with your dermatologist, my advice would be to have a read through the two threads below and pick something you feel you would like to try. Maybe find 3 options and put them in the Search facility and see what others have posted.
