My thoughts. It can take a long time to find what works for you and just as you think you have found it your system will get immune or even reject it. Psoriasis is very difficult to control and my personal opinion is that depending on the severity you may always be changing your treatment.
I'm a bit surprised they have suggested Humira as there are better bio's today, but yes it is a starting point of jumping through hoops to get the better ones. At least you are going bio and though some here will disagree I think it's the way to go if oral has failed.
Regarding health anxiety, I get why you are concerned but you shouldn't read too much into the side effects. Every medication has side effects (even life itself has side effects) but with Bio's you can stop and it is very unlikely that you will get any long term problems.
I'm on my 8th bio in .................................. I think around 15 years and I'm still here.
No psoriasis isn't that bad compared to some things, but if you go on to get psoriatic arthritis trust me it's a life changer and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
What are your odds ? Ha tell me the lottery numbers for this weekend.
I would say you have tried the oral now it's time for Bio, no I won't lie to you it will certainly take time to find what works for you. But for me they have been life changes and I know I can always just stop taking them if I'm not happy.
Question: What are your odds of getting run over by a bus ?If you did would you die, get a few broken bones, or just walk away. You don't know as it hasn't happened, grab the Bio and give it a go .................................. you can always stop and drink green juice.
Good luck
