"I started Rinvoq about 10 months ago. I had chronic itching, usually had about 4 hours of sleep a night. Tried diets, medications, phototherapy, everything to help. The drug was life-changing for me, within 3 days, I was getting a straight 8 hours. When I started on the drug, I was also going through physio for back pain, it wasn’t perfect, but it was helping. However, over the last 6 months, it’s gotten worse and is now chronically painful. The level fluctuates, but it is always there. I’m currently going to see a chiropractor, but I have a feeling this drug is causing the muscle inflammation (I’ve also had steroid injections into my disks, MRI scans, and X-rays which show chronic inflammation in my lower back and hip). I had to come off for a week due to an infection, my skin started up within 48 hours. I’ve recently tried to lower the dose to every other day (I’m on 15 mg), but again, my skin started up again. I have a consultation next week, hoping for some help!"

"I started on a high dose of oral steroids over 4 weeks to get my skin to where it needed to be while simultaneously taking the lowest dose of Rinvoq. My entire body cleared up while on the oral steroids and stayed that way once weaning off them. Except for my face and scalp. 6 months now and my face, more specifically the eyes and bridge of nose, hasn’t changed. This area seems to clear up a little but then rebounds back to being dry/flaky and now my under-eye skin has split open. I also now get it on my scalp worse than I’ve had before as well. Side effects I’ve noticed: pimples, blind spots, blister-like sores; some are really painful. Burning cold sensation on the tops of my forearms. Abdominal pain which initially I thought was hunger pain so I started eating more and gained weight from it but I realized the pain doesn’t go away even with food. Investigation underway. Fatigue/brain fog. Be aware of your body and look out for side effects."

"I never realized how much I was truly suffering until I started taking 15 mg Rinvoq. Everything cleared up on my skin. Also had wonderful relief for gastro issues and IBD. Side effects are troublesome, but the relief I got outweighed the Jake and high cholesterol."

"I have been taking Rinvoq 15 mg daily for about a month and a half. It was the only one of several medications that improved and cleared up my skin condition. In the last week, however, I have developed strong tingling and numbness in both my arms, hands, and up into my rotator. I looked online and found several other people who had experienced the same issues and had to stop taking the medication. I'll be speaking to my doctor this week, but will stop taking the Rinvoq now to see if these side effects abate over the next period of time."

"Rinvoq has changed my life. I do not exaggerate when I say that. I take 15 mg per day, and within the initial weeks of taking the medication, my AD, which covered 90% of my body, had reduced down to nearer 10%. I have not used a steroid cream in 18 months, and my itch was gone within two days of starting the dose. If you miss a day, you do see it come back, so be mindful to take it on time. But after trying 5 other biologics, this has officially changed my quality of life. Initially, side effects included a fever and some nausea, these went away fast, but be aware it can happen."
