Another newbie

[SoFlo]

Hi everyone, although I have had P for several year, this is the first time I began searching for support forums like this one and I am glad I did.   My P has been pretty bad for a long time now and I have been trying to stay away from biologics but decided to try them about 5 months ago. My Dr put me on Humira and after 4 months, not only did I not improve, I got much worse. Yesterday Morning I took my first shots of Taltz. You may think I'm crazy or am seeing thing due to my desire to get clear, but I swear I can already see a change in the way my patches look. Anyways, I hope to make some new friends here and be helped by, and help others.

Hi SoFlo and a big   to the forum, I'm glad you have found us and I don't think you will find a better support group anywhere , we are all just sufferers of this awful disease here and we happily share information about treatments and what works..

You say Humira was not good for you so you have just started Talz.....I have read some great things about Talz, and have heard that it can work quickly , so it might be working and not just your imagination
See about the phase three trials where they noted an improvement within a week
See the link
Lilly's Ixekizumab phase 3  

I wish you continued success and look forward to hearing how well it continues to work for you

Enjoy yourself on the forum and should you need any help just shout out anywhere and someone will be happy to help

Thanks Jim. I too have heard great things about Taltz and am very optamistic about this treatment. Just a bit of info for those of you that are not finding success with your current treatment, look into Taltz. Although it was just approved by the FDA less than 2 months ago, my insurance is covering it and Taltz has a copay card that brought my copay to just $5.00
