"Bimzelx is my 6th biologic in less than 3 years. My psoriatic arthritis is severe, and my psoriasis is mild. I felt the best in 3 years after my first dose, 320 mg. About 11 days later, I started with a red rash on my face, then chest and arms. The rash was like sandpaper. It spread to my legs last. It was itchy and painful, I had to take prednisone. Now I'm due for shot 2, for which I now have an EpiPen. Praying for no rash, finally found a biologic that works, and I got a suppression rash."

"Finally! Bimzelx is the sixth or seventh biologic I’ve been on for PsA. The psoriasis part wasn’t terrible, but the arthritis was awful. A couple of the biologics worked so-so for a couple of years, then stopped. A few didn’t work at all. (I’m unable to take methotrexate.) It’s been a few years since I’ve had any relief, and Bimzelx helped after the first injection! I got better and better over the next several months. I can now walk without tears! Yes, the auto injection is ouchie compared to others. (Auto injections beat infusion any day of the week ;) But a few seconds of ouchie is WAY worth it for me. I can still tell if I’m having a flare, but the flares are so toned down I can get through them easily. Keeping my fingers crossed that it continues to provide such wonderful relief for a long time to come!"

"I just took my first dose of Bimzelx last night, and it hurt very badly. I was previously on Taltz injections for 5 years, and the pain was significantly more. I also experienced chest tightness, swollen and numb lips, and injection site swelling."

"First dose was great. Second dose is causing a burning and tingling around the injection site."

"This drug has been incredible. Have inverse psoriasis - had psoriasis patches head to toe, fingernails were grotesque - dry and crumbly. Was on methotrexate for years with no results, just kept getting worse. New dermatologist put me on Skyrizi to start - cleared up psoriasis within 2 weeks, however, developed psoriatic arthritis in hips, shoulders, and arms. The chronic pain was unbearable, and I was unable to use my arms. After three doses, she changed me to Cosentyx. Worked well for about 4 months, then psoriasis started to come back all over. Psoriatic arthritis was subdued. Then she put me on Bimzelx - what a difference. In two weeks, psoriasis disappeared and no psoriatic arthritis. I find this drug has given me my life back. I'm finally back to being active and playing golf, which I love. Don't hesitate to discuss with your dermatologist if you suffer from psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis. Worked for me after years of pain and suffering."
