@leemoore13 I started taking the Bimzelx injection in February every four weeks for five months, then went on an eight week schedule.
The information package said it would take about four or five injections before I would see results, but my skin started clearing after the first injection. My scalp stopped itching after two or three weeks instead of months, and it was clear of scales by the fourth injection.
I was on Methotrexate some years ago and it worked great - my skin cleared up completely in six months and stayed clear on it but after about four years I was told I should stop taking it because it might affect my liver in the long run as I ha a fatty liver. I was weaned off it and as soon as I started reducing the Methotrexate dosage of eight tablets a week to four my psoriasis returned with a vengeance.
Then I started Stelara injections while still initially on two Methotrexate tablets a week then only on Stelara. Stelara had no effect on my Stelara.
After eighteen months on Stelara and having no results I was switched to Skyrizi injections. skyrizi too didn’t do much for me - while the rest of my body showed a bit of improvement my scalp was a mess and itched continuously.
About two years after being on Skyrizi with little effect, my current dermatologist switched me to Bimzelx - which cleared my psoriasis within two weeks - scalp included. The information package states, however, thst it can take up to four months to show any results.
