@rashida It wasn't working and I have since switched to Bimzelx, but that hasn't been working yet either. I think Bimzelx is causing me some additional issues with my eyes and mouth as well. I keep getting blepharitis as well as psoriasis in and around my eyes and now I have a white tongue, too. I still have to get my tongue checked out but I've already had several treatments for the blepharitis and it goes away but then comes back a while after stopping treatment. I never had this on the other biologics. Actually, while taking Humira, I never had any of these issues, but I can't take that anymore unless I want to pay full price for it. I have to bring all this up with my rheumatologist at my next visit. The last time, she mentioned if Bimzelx didn't work, I could try Tremfya, however, I am skeptical of that working either. It targets the same protein as Skyrizi, which reversed all the clearing I had with Humira, plus my knee blew up while on it.
