Started humira for pa any advice

Skin, nail and hair health

Hi all.

After being diagnosed with pa at 28 years old and after 7 years of steriod creams and mthx injections and pills with no to little effect . After finding harder and harder to work and look after 3 young kids with the desease. Got to the point where my specialist team couldnt put it off any longer and put me on bio ( humira ) . Iv only took 1 injection so far and seen an improvement in my joints. But my skin has got seriously worse. But at the time of being put on bio my rumo nurse gave me a steriod injection for the arthritic pain. Im now not sure if it was the steriods or the humira. Also any input on the progress on anyones humira treatment i would be gratefully.

Thanks all

Dean

There's a new drug called otezla specific for PsA - ask your rheum nurse about it.
