What are your thoughts on Otezla?

Hi - Newly diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (no psoriasis) and my MD recommends Otezla. I am fearful of my immune response and GI side effects.

Can anyone share their experience?

    1. Good morning,
      I do not have experience with Otezla, but I have been on medications similar. I am currently on Humira injections with zero issues zero side affects. I wash my hands often and I keep hand sanitizer on my desk. The one thing that does irritate me is the fact people will come to work sick ugh stay home!! These people get sick but it could land someone with a compromised immune system in the hospital. Just take precautions and you will be okay! Also, report any side affects to your Dr. right away.

      1. Hi ! Wanted to check-in to see if you had started this treatment? If so, how's it going?
