For Plaque Psoriasis "I had psoriasis on both legs from knees down, both elbows, hands, and scalp. After the second injection of Ilumya, I am now 90% clear with no side effects. I have tried Otezla, but after a year, it stopped working. All the creams, etc., had no effect, so here’s hoping that Ilumya is my miracle."

For Psoriasis "I had tried all the creams and all the biologics available. My palmoplantar pustular psoriasis, inverse, and plaque resisted everything. Then Ilumya was released by the FDA. My post psoriasis has improved immensely after 5 months. The plaque has improved, the last to go is the inverse psoriasis, which is always a battle. Hopefully, we're getting there-with a remission of it all. The only problem I have with Ilumya is it does not treat psoriatic arthritis, so that had to be dealt with separately."

For Psoriasis "I researched all medications for my psoriasis for a long time before deciding to go on biological therapy. Ilumya dose is one every 12 weeks after two starter doses. I liked that the most. Four shots a year. I'd tried all of the creams with no results. I really didn't want to take biologics because of side effects. I'm so glad I did though. Ilumya has worked wonders for me. I'm 95 percent clear. So glad I gave Ilumya a try!"

For Psoriasis "I’ve had psoriasis for over 30 years and have been a poster child for medication, both internal and external. The first breakthrough came with Enbrel. It cleared me from head to stomach and then stopped. Went to Humira and Stelara with no good results. Then I went to Taltz, and it just about cleared me up, but I did get a lot of side effects. Hands broke out shortly after starting. Dermatologist, in the challenge of completely trying to clear me, moved me to Ilumya. I have had 3 injections now and no improvement. In fact, several spots have now come back. I suspect on the next visit he will move me to an IL-17 drug next."

For Psoriasis "Was on Cimzia for 5 years. Have severe flare of psoriasis (psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis). Doctor changed me to Ilumya. Bad side effects of diarrhea, severe fatigue, runny nose, congestion. Too ill to leave the house for several days after injection. Two weeks later, still severe fatigue, runny nose, chest congestion. Seems like dosage way too strong for me. Psoriasis has not improved at all yet. Will refuse any further treatment with this medication."

"My doctor moved me to Ilumya after I had a reaction to Cimzia that sent me to the E.R. I have had the two loading doses and two maintenance doses. So far, my skin is clearer except for my scalp, which still has psoriasis. It has not helped with joint pain; in fact, my hands seem to be getting worse with pain and trigger finger. I like that it's every three months, but for something that my Medicare Advantage plan pays more than $15,000 per shot for, I had higher hopes. I'll stick with it for now, but so far I am not impressed given the cost."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I have had moderate to severe plaque psoriasis for almost 15 years. Methotrexate treatment was successful for many years then eventually became less effective. My doctor then got me on Ilumya over a year ago and for the majority of the year, I have been completely clear. There was one outbreak that happened for a month or so and I believe this was due to a partially defective batch of the drug. It is amazing only needing a quick injection every 12 weeks! So far so good."

For Plaque Psoriasis "Ilumya helps with the itching and most of my lesions are gone, with just a little bit of the skin discolorations yet to fade. Now if we could get the amount what is left for Sam/Sue Sr. Citizen to pay (after medication charge and what is paid by insurance) to be lower and more budget friendly, many more patients could be served by this wonderful drug!"
