BIMEKIZUMAB vs Etanercept

For over 20 years, I've increasingly struggled with what is by now fairly severe PsO and PsA (costochondritis, dactylitis, enthesitis), the last couple of years complimented by unexplained IBD-like symptoms. MTX does nothing (but harm) and the professor rheumatologist now wants to go straight to IL1

Hi everyone, I’ve been doing some deep research recently into emerging therapies that could become game-changers for psoriatic arthritis (PsA), especially for hard-to-treat symptoms like enthesitis. I thought I’d share what I’ve learned, in case others are interested too: 1. CAR-T Cell Therapy: Scie

Hi I’m a 21 year old (m) and I’d like to share my experiences with this condition. I have had cysts on my armpits, groin, thighs, and Genitals. I have had this condition since I was 15 and I’ve been to four dermatologist in that time. The 1st and 4th dermatologist have been really good docs, the 3rd

(28yr old Male) I took my first 2 doses of Bimzelx a couple days ago and I have honestly been shocked with the improvements I have seen already. My knees are the only joints which are affected, and the swelling/stiffness within a couple days has reduced significantly (about 30% better). I know it’s

I've been diagnosed with psoriasis since I was 10 years old, I am now 30 years old and was recently diagnosed with PSA. I have tried almost everything possible starting with topical creams, tar treatments, ph

Hey I'm making a list of treatments that may be approved for HS in the near future and wondered if anyone had any personal experience using any of them or if they have anything to add! There's a ton of research going on so thought I'd just make a list As follows: Bimzelx (bimekizumab) Sonelokimab

Heres the picture of the biting: http://imgur.com/a/viBUNkx She also had one day fever and she still has a runny nose and a cough, we don't know if it's

My doctor in Germany wants me to start Bimekizumab (Bimzelx) if Rinvoq doesn't work better in the next couple weeks. I've already tried Methotrexate and Adalimumab and neither worked. I am not even sure if Bimzelx is approved for PsA in the US yet but I think its available in Canada as well as elsew

Just been to Doc...both rheum and derm and they are starting me on new drugs. Bimekizumab and Sotuku. I have been on Mtx and biologic and Otezla together for years. Anyone any experience with these?

Hey there! I’m coming up on 30 years living with RA. I was diagnosed as a young woman - only 22 years old! I was originally diagnosed seronegative RA, but am now seropositive. I’ve been on biologics over 25 years. I’ve managed to lead a full life after diagnosis: corporate career, two kids, world tr

hi guys, I recovered from long Covid, it started beginning 2022 for me and I relapsed many times, because any time I recover I’d get Covid again and bam another 3 months in bed. I’ll probably get it again, if I get Covid again. But I really pray and take all precautions to not get it. I know it’s di

Hi everyone, I'm writing on behalf of my partner, because we’re both overwhelmed and could really use some advice and support. After nearly **8 years of pain and being misdiagnosed**, he was finally diagnosed with **Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)**. For years, doctors said it was just stress, posture,

Edit: some folks brought up the very good point that you need to balance effects of any treatment against the effects of doing nothing. I was only focusing on the side effects of TNFi bc that's what I received a bunch of good (published) shareable info from my doc on, but we have had previous conver

I have been doing a lot of AI deep searches to find a way to reduce PD progression by using various supplements. Below is the extract of the findings. I suspect that for people at the early stages of PD might benefit from the effects and potentially slow down PD progression. If we have enough peo

I just switched insurances (new job), and my new insurance won't cover Enbrel for psoriatic arthritis, preferring one of 3 other TNF blockers. I've been on Enbrel for the last 5 years, and would really rather not switch away from something that's working so well, especially since I work in healthcar
