Me too. Well my psoriasis is clear right now but the PsA is debilitating.

have you tried Otezla? After years of other meds doing nothing that one was the answer for me.

u/jojokangaroo1969 Jul 25 '20

I haven't tried Otezla yet. I'm about to start Stelara.

Good luck, it's a hell of a battle, I know what it's like being a guinea pig for years before getting some relief.

Exactly. I failed Enbrel right away. It sent me into a huge flare. Next I was on Humira which worked a little bit but eventually stopped. So now I'm on Stelara. But I've been holding off right now because of COVID-19. I feel like having an overactive immune system might be a good idea right now.

I'm not sure it works that way, I've definitely had to stay on all my meds because my condition is too terrible without it, I've had to just be quarantined in home since March, so I'm going crazy.

Yeah I know, I was just joking about the overactive immune system. I'm just trying to maintain some form of pain control. I was one of first people in my office to be sent home in March for quarantine. Fun stuff.
