I have been using Taltz for almost a year but my doctor is switching me to Skyrizi now. I felt find on Taltz (had tried Methotrexate (made me sick) and Otezla (made me super angry). Taltz has made my itchiness better but the psoriasis has spread plus by doctor says my joints are more inflamed. She has suggested going Gluten-Free since I travel so much. My doctor thinks that will be the easiest "food" change for me to try. Also she wants me to slowly test eliminating my over-the-counter meds to see if that helps with PsA.
Good Luck! PsA meds seem to be a non-stopping challenge.

Call the specialty pharmacy daily. You must advocate for yourself! If you've been approved, tell them you need delivery asap. The self-injector is super easy, and you get used to it. Your doc can definitely show you the first time. Don't give up and let the insurance company get away any longer with delaying your delivery!

Hi @DianaMySpence I was on Otezla first. Been on Otezla for 8 years. I was successfully using Consyntex. Consyntex stopped working, as you’ll find happens over time with biologics, and I was moved to Taltz.

My skin has been extremely well maintained with biologics for 15 years. The Otezla helps with my pain of psoriatic arthritis.

The only biologic that didn’t help me was stellara. It will depend on your bloodwork as to which biologic will work best for you.

Let me know any other questions you have. I’m happy to help.

So sorry Diana. Yep… when it rains, it pours. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Godspeed to you!!

I’m on Taltz. Definitely helped my skin. My joints…. Only if I take more than prescribed. (I had a few extra injections from an insurance mishap). I am on a combo of Taltz .& Otezla. That’s the cocktail that keeps my pain livable most days. But weather (particularly the crazy barometric changing weather) adds to my pain.

Taltz totally IMPROVED the needle and injection process. Not hurting anywhere near what it was.

If you squeeze the area of injection, that’s a trick that any injection helps ease discomfort.

Godspeed and good luck.
