What’s going on with me is kind of a question mark so I’m thinking of throwing it out to the internet for some ideas.

I have been living with psoriatic arthrisis for almost 2 years. I am 23yo. I caught covid in December 2021 and I started feeling pain in my back out of nowhere. I let a couple of months pass by before the pain worsened and one day I couldn't stand on my left leg without feeling atrocious pain. Went

In a couple of weeks I'll be starting on Taltz (ixekizumab). Is anyone one it? Has anyone been on it? Was it effective? What side effects should I expect? Anything I should know going in?

Tldr - Been through Methotrexate (DMARD) , Humira / Adalimumab (Anti-TNF) , Taltz / Ixekizumab (IL-17A), and currently on Cosentyx / Secukinumab (IL-17A), Sulfasalazine (1000mg) and Ibuprofen (1600mg) I’m thinking of switching to a Jak inhibitor. But all the risks involved are ma
