Hi Everyone, I'm new here, and wonder why I'd never stumbled across this forum in my searches before. From what I've seen thus far the community seems awesome, and very helpful. I found the forum searching for info on Taltz. I recently started Humira but more about that later.
I recently turned 40, this month, lol. I was first suspected of having Psoriasis around 28... undiagnosed. Looking back I now think it started back in my early 20's it was slow to progress. Most recently (past 2 years) developing on my knees, elbows, and hands. I couldn't hide it anymore.
I tried multitudes of creams and home remedies. None ever really worked, and never really worked for more than two weeks.
I finally found a derm that seems to care, and he put me on Humira. I've done my loading dose of 2 pens followed by 1 pen 8 days later. In two weeks I begin the normal dosing of 1 pen every two weeks.
I was about to say well thats who I am, but then I would be saying that psoriasis defines me. Which it doesn't... anymore.
So far I'm happy with the results from Humira. More so than any other treatment I've tried.
