r/skyrizi

Hey guys as stated above I'm doing a 2 week washout. To switch from humira to skyrizi. Can y'all give me some of y'all's success stories with skyrizi so I have something to look forward to? (My review on: Humira for me fixed all the pain issues for the most part. It just took like 4 days of recovery from me. So I wanted to switch rather than suffer. So my rheumatologist said I have to do the 2 week washout and now on day 4 the pain is catching up to me so ya that's why I ask )

My insurance no long covers the skyrizi does anyone know a affordable way to get some or would anyone have any extras they would like to sell please anything helps i urgently need

This question is mostly for people with Crohn's. For anyone using the 360mg on-body injector: has your doctor ever increased your dose, or shortened the time between your doses (like going from every 8 weeks down to every 4 or 6 weeks)?

Hi all, I'm new to skyrizi. Technically haven't started yet, kinda gotta throw some shade at CVS/Carmark for no communicating effectively or at all, nowhere did it mention I had to call them to schedule a shipment 😑 poor texts.

However, ? I was in the process of setting up the complete app, but can't sign in at the moment, anyone else experiencing technical issues with it? And another ? If anyone is aware what's the thing about this Debit Card? A skyrizi rep mentioned it to me and the CVS agent as well. I have the savings card, but what's this about a debit card and how do I obtain it?

For those that quit Skyrizi due to brain fog and memory loss, about how long before you felt better? I see it can stay in your system for 20 weeks, and I know everyone is different, but I need some hope.

I’m a 43M and have had some form of psoriasis for as long as I can remember. As a child I struggled with scalp psoriasis, but was able to manage it some with various shampoos and sunlight in the summer months. At 17 years old I had a bad case of strep throat and that caused a breakout of stubborn guttate psoriasis. I managed this with steroid creams and sunlight. I had periods of remission, but anytime strep throat occurred it would pop back up. When I was 35 I started Otezla and had immediate and long term success until this last January when I had a bad case of strep throat again. Otezla just lost its effectiveness and UVB therapy just wasn’t cutting it. This recent outbreak of guttate was the absolute worst I’ve ever had it… just everywhere and to the point i was uncomfortable wearing a t shirt and couldn’t sleep at night. So my doctor recommended Skyrizi… here’s how the first 3 doses have gone:

FIRST LOADING DOSE (Early April): No immediate improvement in the first couple of weeks and it actually felt like it was getting worse. By week 3 the discomfort went away and by the end of week 4, right before second loading dose, I could actually see spots fading and leaving behind hypopigmentation where spots once were.

SECOND LOADING DOSE (Early May): This is where things took off. About a week after that second dose, I actually felt secure enough to wear shorts and short sleeve shirts. There was still a lot of hypopigmentation, but I wanted to start getting some sun exposure to blend it in. By July I would say I was 100% clear and any hypopigmentation had blended in.

FIRST MAINTENANCE DOSE (Last Friday): still doing great!

TLDR: I just wanted to share my story because psoriasis is a massive pain in the ass and takes a mental toll on you because it is irritating and, quite frankly, unsightly. I know I dwell on it when it happens and waiting on any new therapy to start working feels like an eternity. Hang in there and I hope you’re also successful. Cheers!

Had my injection yesterday. Didn’t feel anything! Today- was very tired and worsened my back pain, significantly. I hope this subsided. Anyone else have issues like this?
