It was SO painful even though I left it out for 2 hours. I’m concerned about side effects, but more importantly I just hope Bimzelx will clear my skin. Please share your experiences here, the good or bad… I could use it!
I am a 28F with PsA. I took my first injection on Friday and today is Sunday and i swear i feel a difference??
Am i crazy??
Will keep it brief. Went to doctor John Frew in Australia. He diagnosed a Hurley stage 2 condition with tunneling. He prescribed Metformin for insulin resistance and bimzelx injections once every 2 weeks. Injections cost $6000 but thanks to Australia and Medicare, they were $15 per injection.
So far so good. No flairs and existing wounds have cleared up. 2 shots in so far. No adverse reaction or side effects. Praying it stays this way.
I started Bimzelx at the beginning of May, so it’s been about 4 months. I have HS, and so far Bimzelx has kept it in remission, which is great, but I’ve basically been sick since I started the med.
After my first two Bimzelx doses, I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia and dehydration from diarrhea. Since then, the pattern has been the same. When I can take a Bimzelx dose, I get an URI and diarrhea about a week later.
My derm wants me to continue. My PCP is at a loss (unfortunately my HS is complicated by other factors). I just feel like I’ve aged. I’m in my 30s, never sick, and now I have literal broken ribs from coughing all the time.
No HS though. Anyone else deal with this?
Hi all,
I’ve been on Skyrizi for a couple years and went from 70% coverage to almost completely clear except for one stubborn patch "between me down there". My dermatologist is recommending switching to Bimzelx, and I’m unsure whether to change something that’s working.
Anyone here made that switch? How did it go?
Thanks in advance.
Wish me luck. My first biological. I just took it out of the fridge and I'm writing this on my way to my injection training appointment.
90% of my body is covered in psoriasis. All my finger and toe nails are thick and yellow and crooked. I have lots of joint pain and stiffness too. My PhD dermatologist said she was "impressed" and took lots of photos of my skin. I can't wait for all of this to go away. I feel so ugly and I also feel like I'm 100 years old when I go up and down stairs. I can't sleep from how itchy and uncomfortable I am. I've had it for about fifteen years as just little patches of bad skin but it's been really bad like this covering my whole body for about 6 years. Scales and red skin everywhere.
Doc and pharmacist really only warned me about oral thrush and some soreness around the injection site. What else have you experienced?
SkyRizi didn’t work for my severe psoriasis. Now I’m about to try Bimzelx. Would love to hear peoples experiences with this.
Not sure... I was prescribed an antibiotic (amoxicillin) today for my sore throat and course is for 10 days and I was travelling next week to apply my Bimzelx (insurance issues ... sigh long story) but doctor advised me to resume bimzelx after antibiotic course is over... but I already have my tickets from Toronto to Calgary and back and I can max work from home 2 days in a week so this day comes next to next week now... not sure what to do? I was thinking of just flying with the medication with me in cooler or something (with prescription??) and then apply it when Im back in Toronto.
Please help and advise.
Thanks
