Hang in there ,you may get it yet . If you have to go to an injectable ,look on the bright side . It is better than suffering all the negatives that come with this condition . At least now there is an option You can do it !

Otezla worked great for me . No side effects ,easy to take pill twice a day ,no tests required .It got me almost completely clear with in a few months and maintained it for about 2 years. Unfortunately ,I can no longer get it as the co pay assist ran out and it is super expensive . I will hopefully be approved for Cosentyx soon.Hope it works as well .

Otezla qppaently won't help with the cost according to my rheumatologist because I'm on Medicare and the cost is much too high for me to pay personally.

It has been a while but as I recall ,I saw improvement after the loading doses and then made steady progress towards 90% clear . It was a huge improvement both physically and mentally . Best of luck to you . If it does not work well for you ,there are plenty of newer options ... hang in there !!
