BIMEKIZUMAB vs METHOTREXATE

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.

(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

Hi Everyone, I am in desperate need of help regarding medications for my psoriasis and PSA. I've been diagnosed with psoriasis since I was 10 years old, I am now 30 years old and was recently diagnosed with PSA.

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

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?

Edit #3: I passed out today on my apartment steps out of absolutely the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life and someone saw me and called an ambulance. I finally got a diagnosis in the emergency room after bawling my eyes out of frustration at this entire situation and they found out I have a corona

This is going to be so, so, so long and I’m so sorry. But we don’t know what else to do. I’ve tried to compress it the best I could. 3f with medical mystery. First year of life: -couldn’t latch until 2 months old -refused all food, in all forms. -up every 20 minutes every single night, wouldn’t

This has [b

I've been dancing my heart out for the last couple days. In public. I don't know why I'm just happy to be alive and moving and I don't even need music. It is honestly so abnormal for me to be dancing that I figured I should ask here? Nothing bad comes from the urge to dance in public yeah? F19 5'4 1

F23 just ran a 10k. For reference I use to be a big runner so I have pride but haven't ran in a few months so no foundation. Absolutely killed myself to PR today. The race was brutal with cramping in my legs and lower back. I have probably ran hundreds of races. NEVER before have I gotten so immedi
