Good news Alex. I was due to go on it this week but the funding isn't in place yet.

Can I ask why you said "maintain my smell and taste" ?

Hi Fred, 

I hope the funding comes through for you soon. 

The reason is, Humira, although wonderful for clearing my skin, made me lose my sense of taste and smell within a month.- I mean 100% gone. I could only taste sweet, sour and salty but not any flavours. I had no smell at all either.   I didn't put two and two together (I had made other lifestyle changes at the same time too, such as exercising and quitting smoking) so I went a round a year without 2 senses! I had various tests and investigative procedures to try and figure out what was going on but by chance we discovered it to be an adverse reaction to the Humira (hence the change to Cosentyx!)
