Dear Fred, Kat and Caroline,
Thanks for your responses to my post. Some additional information: my treatment with Ilumetri was aimed at psoriasis complaints of the skin, not psoriatic arthritis.
If I understand correctly, Fred gets Ilumetri, and the drug does help with his skin complaints and not yet the joint pain of psoriatic arthritis.
My joint pain occurs in different places and often lasts less than a day, but it is a different place almost every day. There are no outward symptoms, no thick or red joints.
The dermatologist and the rheumatologist both say that psoriatic arthritis usually stays in the same spot for weeks. But I'll ask them about it again.
Both doctors thought it was suspicious that the complaints started after the Ilumetri injections. That is why I am curious if there are others who also use this remedy and suffer from joint pain.
To complicate my story even more: I also have celiac disease since July 2021. Perhaps joint pain is a rare side effect of Ilumetri, which occurs in conjunction with celiac disease.
