Tremfya for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

Looks like Tremfya isn't going to be the one.

I'm finding it difficult around week 6 onwards for the psoriatic arthritis and I have just put my score up from 8 to 14 with one more week to go before my next shot.

Problem areas are:

Shoulders
Collarbone
Sternum
Elbows
left wrist
Most knuckles
Some toes

Still got the ankle problem but not sure yet if it is psoriatic arthritis.

I will still be taking my next shot next week as planned and at the moment I have no plans on getting an earlier appointment.

Will say Tremfya is great for psoriasis, so if you are thinking of trying it for that I would say it's the best yet. But we are all different and for me it's the psoriatic arthritis that needs sorting.

*Please no sympathy, I'm fine with it and No I won't be seeking an appointment sooner than September. I'm only posting this here in case it helps others.

No sympathy then, but hope in September you get something that keeps the arthritis at bay for much longer

Thank you Jim, yes I think I may have to review my options then.

Damn that sucks.

What's this sympathy thing? Is it one of those new fangled woke things?

It's not that bad John. I've had a lot worse.

Lost me on the "woke thing" I count myself lucky if I wake up each day if that helps.

“Sympathy” If we ever had that for you! …. Oh, yes, we had… I remember now..

Must remember this fancy expression and use it in a conversation, “new fangled woke things”, really great, I don’t have a clue what it means, just like you, but it sounds great..

It was the time I lost my hat.

Concerned then instead of sympathy

Nah don't be concerned Dave, I'm fine and can still make it to the Psoriasis Club Bar
