I've been on Skyrizi for about 3 years now. My psoriasis has only ever been on my scalp, no joint pain or other areas involved. Curious to hear from others who've paused or stopped it (insurance issues, side effects, wanting a break, etc.).

A few questions:

• How long were you on it before stopping, and how long did it take for symptoms to return (if they did)?
• Did the flare come back as bad as before, worse, or milder?
• If you restarted Skyrizi after a gap, did it work as well as the first time, or did you notice reduced effectiveness?
• Roughly how long was the gap before you restarted?

Also curious — has anyone tried stretching out the interval between doses instead of stopping completely? Like going from every 12 weeks to 13, then 14, then 15, etc., pushing it out a bit more each time rather than cold-stopping. Did that work okay, or did symptoms creep back once you went past 12 weeks?

Part of why I'm asking: I don't love the idea of being dependent on a medication long-term, and I'm a bit wary of staying on an immunosuppressant as I get older (infection risk, whatever else comes with aging on a drug like this). So I'm trying to figure out if there's a realistic path to less frequent dosing, or if that's just wishful thinking for how this drug works.

Trying to get a sense of what's realistic before I consider changing up my own dosing. Appreciate any experiences you're willing to share.

35M married with a wife (36F). I’m 70% pro kids, wife is 100% against having kids.

All my close friends have kids now, and I feel jealous. If I lived in a kid-free society, I would be okay with not having kids, but when I see my close friends having kids, I feel FOMO and worry about my kid-free future. I know both ways have pros and cons, and I know having a kid due to FOMO alone is wrong, but this is the reality.

If we had a kid, I’m confident that I will be a good parent. But due to some circumstances, we are not having kids probably. I hope I will be okay in the future and don’t regret too much.

First night of xywav with 2.25 * 2 only gave me 5.5 hrs of sleep, when I usually get 6.5 hrs. I don’t feel refreshed at all as expected. Is this normal? Would it go up to 7-9 hrs as the dosage goes up?

I was diagnosed with N2 about 2 years ago, and even got Xywav, but after trying it for a few days, I got scared and stopped. I in general do not like being dependent on medication, and I’m already on an immunosuppressant drug for other health issue.

Should I get a retest for N2? My symptoms are mild compared to others I believe. Sure, I have EDS and brain fog, but I can push through it a lot of times and have a full time job. It is a struggle though often.

I started during TOTS and played like an addict since then. Although I love the fifa game, this game makes it feel too much like a second job - all the daily grind, stress during WL, FOMO, terrible gameplay, input delay, and toxic players (and dumb rush players).

Adios, my friends. I enjoyed it while it lasted. So many other good games are coming out. I will pick FC back up maybe when I’m financially free and have more time to grind, but until then, no more stressful gaming!

I’m relatively new to the game as I started playing around when TOTS started. How do I get better? I can only win 7 WL consistently, but not a single win more or less.

Those that are really good at the game, any tips for someone like me? Thanks!

How to control anger when losing the game? I normally win around 7, and it’s so frustrating when the game play is so bad and lagging and I lose because of that.

There are not enough tokens available to fill 1,000 tokens limit this week. How come? Are they forcing us to swap fodders for tokens?

Who’s the best goalkeeper right now in the game?

I’m normally a calm person, but when I play fut champ, I get so angry at my opponent and for my self for making stupid mistakes.

I recently started playing ultimate mode, and I only played for a month, so I’m late to the game. I can get 7 wins out of 15 games per average, but omg, the opponents make the same exact goals every single time. Through pass, run, and then either finesse or low driven shot every single time. On the other hand, I like passing play, so my goals tend to be different each time.

But damn, this game is sucking the soul out of me.
