What are your thoughts on the covid vaccine having an affect on the efficacy of your psoriasis treatment. ?
I'm on Tremfya and have noticed the psoriatic arthritis isn't doing so well with my last two shots, and as usual I always try to understand why. But apart from thinking the Tremfya isn't working as well as it did, I'm stumped for an answer.
But I started looking at when I took my Tremfya in comparison with the dates of the Pfizer covid vaccine to see if there could be a link.
Tremfya:
24 April
19 June
Pfizer
05 May
14 June
When I look back at my journal it's 15 May that I said the psoriatic arthritis score had shot up from 7 to 12, since then my score has slowly gone up and it's now on 16.
Here is what I'm wondering.
Tremfya is slowing things down and doing it's job, but then along comes Pfizer which wants to create antibodies. So there is a boxing match going on in my system and both drugs are knocking hell out of each other.
The psoriatic arthritis is getting worse because Tremfya is now having to punch away at Pfizer whilst at the same time fight off psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
If this is the case its going to go on for a while as I have my third Pfizer jab on 15 July less than 4 weeks after my Tremfya.
Thoughts ?
