Risankizumab for Plaque Psoriasis "This has been a godsend for my husband, who developed type 2 diabetes, and with it came plaque psoriasis from head to foot. It affected his self-esteem, stopped him from going out socializing, and he started to become depressed. Our doctor sent him to James Cook Hospital in Middlesbrough in the UK to see a dermatologist, who, after countless creams, light treatments, and tablets, offered him Skyrizi. It has cleared his psoriasis up completely. He has been on it a year now, and the change in his mental health is phenomenal. He has it every 3 months, 4 times a year. The only side effect is that 2 days after he has had the injection, he gets flu-like symptoms, which clear up within a week. So, if you get the chance, Skyrizi is the answer, it’s a game changer."

Risankizumab for Psoriasis "I had psoriasis for 22 years. I am 70 years old, 80% covered. Tried all sorts of remedies, from natural to modern. Treatment was comfortable using UV light for over 15 years until I had my first COVID injection in 2020. Psoriasis went crazy for 2 years, no matter what I did. Psoriasis would flare more and more until my dermatologist recommended trying Skyrizi. The best. I did. Within a week, it cleared up my skin. No itchy skin, no lesions. Skin cleared. Much happier. Only side effects experienced for nine months since I had it: flu-like symptoms, flare-up of hives, nothing severe. I can live with that. I recommend it to all people suffering from psoriasis."
