Update and questions

Been gone awhile. Last i posted several months ago, i was on Humira and doing well. Not long after I took myself off due to multiple infections (Covid twice, kidney infection, bronchitis). Bad decision, cause when I started back, didn't work. So now, months later, doc suggests an IL17 (Taltz). I have previously been on Cimzia as well as Humira. Any comments on Taltz? I'll check prior posts too. Have been battling Achilles tendonitis for months and had no idea it was a common symptom. Duh! Back, hip and wrist pain flaring...grrr. i have also had rotator cuff repair surgery and am in pt, which has caused a bad reaction from my neck, so mri today. Good times. On a positive note, I have been on a modified vegan diet for 3 months and lost 27 pounds! Has helped with pain some and general health, but fatigue and stiffness still bad. Anyway, sorry so long a post. Hope you all are doing well!

    It's good to hear from you.
    You certainly have been through quite a bit I'm saddened to hear how difficult it has been for you.
    As we wait for others to chime in with their personal experiences with Taltz, I thought I'd share these two articles that may provide some helpful information: https://axialspondyloarthritis.net/treatment/biologics-biosimilars and
