Just about to start a fairly no drug called Otezla. Have had 2 DMARDS without success. Anyone else on this? The beauty is no blood tests every fortnight! My veins will be pleased

Yes, been on it for over a year now. Had a lot of diarrhoea and some nausea when I started but that settled after about 3 months. Has impacted a little on tendonitis - like all these drugs variable responses with different folk so hoping you see a good effect and are not troubled too much by any side effects. Good luck.
I had to look it up: psoriasis.org/about-psorias...
sounds as if this is more for the psoriasis skin problems than the arthritis?
How are you getting on with it, Scottiedottie? I had to come off it because it gave me unbearable migraines, which was sad, because it did seem to help.
Came off after 6 weeks. Nausea and f2f uarrhoea. Sinus infection know on Hydroxychloroquine. No effect yet. Thanks for asking
