Bimzelx

I am about to start my eighth or ninth biologic in eight years— Bimzelx

Has anyone tried it?

  1. Oh I hope any of our community members with experience on Bimzelx can share with you here, . While I don't know about Bimzelx (your comment is actually the first I've heard of it so I had to do a little research), I do know that so many here can relate to the challenges and frustrations of eight (or more) biologics in as many years. Unfortunately, it can be hard to find a treatment that brings relief with minimal side effects, and even once something works, sometimes it loses effectiveness over time. Has this been your experience with your previous eight biologics as well?

    I don't know if you're feeling hopeful/positive about starting a new biologic or if this is something that you're feeling discouraged about, but I wanted to share this article with you about treatment fatigue, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/treatment-fatigue, just in case you're also feeling a bit of this.

    I'm crossing my fingers you can get some helpful feedback here! Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

    1. , I'm not sure how I feel, to be honest. I hate shots, but once I finish the uploading, I take it every other month, so that's a plus. Cosentyx was the least hurting shot I've taken, so I hope this one isn't worse. Also, I have IBS, and Bimzelx can make it worse. I couldn't take Otezla because of that issue. So, I'm up in the air at this point! I'll let you know! Thank you!
