Re: Humera and worsening Psoriasis?

[Guest guest]

My son was on Humira and both the arthritis and psoriasis improved, until it

stopped working and we switched biologics. How long has she been on Humira?

Maybe it is time for a switch?

She has only been on it for one month. I am back to trying to get her into a

dermatologist again but we have so few in this area it is 6b months for an

appointment. We have started with the tanning again as just a few times really

helped a lot last time.

She has been on methotrexate for over a year now but can't tolerate much without

some real issues so we are leaving her at .8 for now.

We are just so frustrated.

Wow, 6 months is a very long time to wait. Is this just for a

pediatric dermatologist or for any dermatologist? If it is going to

take 6 months, I would suggest broadening your search for doctors to

outlying areas, even if it means driving a few hours. In the meantime,

I would definitely mention the psoriasis flare to the rheumatologist.

Sorry I can't offer more advice.
