For Psoriasis "I had a really bad stomach pain followed by a crazy itching all over my body. I’ve taken two doses of Skyrizi, and I had the same reaction twice, a month apart. How can I get rid of these symptoms? I’m so scared that it will happen again. I’m never taking Skyrizi again!"

For Plaque Psoriasis "I had a diagnosis of plaque psoriasis that nothing seemed to help, that my dermatologist gave me, so they decided to try SKYRIZI. Three weeks after my first injection, I ended up with joint pain in my hands, ankles, knees, and neck. After my second injection shortly thereafter, my itching on my scalp and around my ears started to go away, shortly thereafter, all my joint pain went away. I’ve been on SKYRIZI for this entire year, and I have been cleared of all my scalp psoriasis in and out of my ears, and my joint pain is gone. I self-inject in the privacy of my home, which is very simple and easy to do, but I must thank AbbVie from the bottom of my heart because you really gave me my life back. Thank you again."

For Psoriatic Arthritis "I'm getting ready for my 3rd dose of Skyrizi. It has been working well. My psoriasis cleared up, and some of the arthritic pain has eased up, but my nose is running constantly, and I have sores and scabbing on both sides of my nose. Very frustrating at this point. Going to the doctor this week to see what needs to be done."
