BIMEKIZUMAB vs USTEKINUMAB

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

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. 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

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?

Even though several of these medications are manufactured in the USA, it doesn't mean it's cheaper in the USA. "Socialised healthcare" negotiates in a free market outside the USA. No wonder travel insurance costs a fortune in USA. Detailed story..... https://www.msn.com/en-au/health/other/doctors-

Welcome back to this week's newsflash 1. Surgery for UC can be a major life change, but it is often a necessary step when medications fail. Understanding the adjustments to diet and daily life afterward is crucial for recovery and long-term well-being. This guide explores what patients can expect re

#The Effectiveness of Medications for Ulcerative Colitis *This post was last revised September 19, 2019.* Here I have compiled data on the effectiveness of medications used to treat ulcerative colitis, as compared to placebos or to other medications. ###Risk Ratios (RRs) All values here are shown as

Since eternacept started to wear off over the years my docs gave me the choice to switch to Ustekinumab. The 3 months injection rhythm sounds pretty unreal when coming from 3-day-interval Eternacept jabs, but well.. you could call it progress in medical science. I am now 3 weeks in after my first do

I wanted to follow-up on a previous post I made regarding starting Stelara. https://old.reddit.com/r/Psoriasis/comments/yjhr6z/plaque_psoriasis_after_a_covid_vaccine/ I have now be on Stelara for 7 months and it has nearly cleared my Psoriasis. I stopped applying Clobetasol some months ago and each

I’ve been on biologics for about a year now, i started in December 2024. About 45ml shot of Ustekinumab every 3 months as prescribed by my dermatologist. Problem is, it is losing its efficacy. Since August, every time it clears up about 70%, the same thing happens, it comes back worse even with topi

Phase 3 trials to commence. Possibly another biological option. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/878838
