"Taltz has been the best thing I've come across. New lease on life. Don't get me wrong. I've tried all sorts of stuff before, and none of it worked. It comes down to the specific IL that a person responds to. The one thing I can say is that if something isn't working for you, try something else until you find the right thing. Psoriasis is a prison. It's a front row seat in Hell. It's something we need to learn how to fight. And Taltz won it for me, but it might not be the correct drug for people reading this. Trust me. Keep trying different biologics until you find the right one. I'll be writing a blog soon, so look for me."

Taltz (ixekizumab) "Almost 2 years on Taltz with great success. Had tried Enbrel, Humira and Cimzia which worked well on my Psoriasis arthritis but (PsA) but not my skin. After a bout with strep and a huge full body flare up. It was ugly and painful. I went to the dermatologist who recommended Taltz. Consulted my Rheumatologist the next week and we decided to try it. Rheum had never prescribed Taltz to her patients. In 3 months my skin was clearer and my PsA was controlled. In 6 months my skin had cleared up completely. I deal with some IBD and elevated liver numbers on Taltz but if I drink more water, less alcohol and exercise I can keep my numbers in check. What a relief it’s been for me and my skin and my health. The injections can be very painful but I’ve found injecting in my chubby stomach much less painful than my muscular thigh."

Taltz (ixekizumab) "I started taking Taltz in August 2022. It cleared my plaque psoriasis within weeks. I found it easy to deal with the pharmacy and delivery processes. The injection isn't painful or hard to administer. Unfortunately, I began having a lot of joint pain in October and it has continued. Also, I have developed a cough, hoarseness, and dry and itchy eyes. I am wondering if I can continue to stay on Taltz, as I am a teacher and I am losing my voice. I also don't know if I can continue with the joint pain I am having. Time will tell."

Taltz (ixekizumab) "I have tried creams, pills, you name it. I finally was approved for Taltz. I took my first two shots today, different spots in the abdomen. There was no pain with the injections here. I am hopeful this will be the one. I will update my journey along the way."
