ADALIMUMAB vs ADALIMUMAB-FKJP

Hey everyone! I've been on a deep dive into understanding the immune system, particularly in relation to psoriasis. Consolidating information like this really helps me grasp it better. While there's a wealth of knowledge out there, I've highlighted both natural and conventional methods that I've per

Hi all, have had worsening psoriasis and PsA since 2014 and finally today my dermatologist saw me and has put me forward for Adalimumab! I am so happy to finally get approved for a biologic. Fingers crossed it will be the treatment that finally works for me!

As the old adage goes "Changeable, Curable" I've had one small area of persistent psoriasis clear completely - I'd given it a friction burn from rubbing through clothes on Saturday.

I’m 23M with psoriasis. I’ve used methotrexate before, then Apremilast for 6 months (stopped working). Now my doctor wants to put me on Tofacitinib, but also asked me to check with insurance about biologics. Shes recommending Ixekizumab (Taltz), but it’s super expensive (₹3–4.5 lakh first year, then

I am writing this because I am still in shock and honestly struggling to process what happened. I want to know if anyone else with Crohn’s or IBD has experienced something like this and how you dealt with it. I am a 23 year old woman with a severe course of Crohn’s disease affecting the terminal il

Tagged NSFW for near death experience. TLDR at the end I posted about my crohns about two weeks ago about weird symptoms I was having. I was then this Thursday on my way to my local hospital to get blood drawn for my regular check up with my cardiologist. I then start having severe stomach pains an

Hi. I'm an MD (Pediatrics), I have a graduate degree in molecular biology and worked in a molecular virology lab in graduate school, and I have ankylosing spondylitis. There has been a lot of concern about biologics and COVID-19 and what this means for those of us who take them (I take etanercept \

*As you already know, I am not a native english speaker, so I am sorry in advance if my english is not perfect.* Today, I would like to speak about the links between Progenity and Pfizer. I am quite amazed to see so many connexions betweens these companies. **1)** Pfizer made a lot of money, billion
