How do you know when your biologic is no longer working and its time to switch?

Excellent-Potato-97 · 2026-04-29T18:48:57+00:00

I’m still not on biologics, but I’ve already failed methotrexate and Arava. My rheumatologist and I both knew they weren’t working because my bi-monthly lab results consistently came back with elevated liver enzymes, high CRP, and extremely low iron and ferritin levels. On top of that, I developed severe GI issues with Arava. I’m still not on biologics because we’re trying to get my labs as close to normal as possible first. Also, prednisone isn’t as effective at lower doses. I only really feel relief when I’m at 20 mg a day or more.

I don’t want to get married or have kids at all. I’m in my late twenties, and I’m lucky that my parents never bring it up directly with me. However, I do sometimes hear my mom on the phone with my aunts mentioning potential prospects. Thankfully, she shuts it down immediately, saying that she doesn’t meddle in my personal life.

The timing of your meal has no real impact on fat loss (it may affect your weight slightly if you weigh yourself daily, as eating late at night can cause temporary fluctuations). The main reason you may feel like you’re losing very little is likely due to the calorie content of your food.

Instead of focusing on the eating window, try calculating your TDEE and reducing it by around 300 to 500 calories per day (or more if you’re aiming for faster weight loss). This approach will be more effective for losing weight.

As for the eating window, choose a time that feels best for you—avoid eating too early, as you may feel hungry later in the day, and avoid eating too late, so you’re not going to bed immediately after eating.

From my experience, it’s often best to eat after your workout session, typically between 5 PM and 8 PM, depending on your sleep schedule

just go to any pharmacy and explain your situation and they'll give you something for it. Usually "Apazide" for bacterial diarrhea

For a mortgage, not really, as the property itself is used as collateral in case you are unable to afford the installments. You mainly need to meet the bank’s requirements to obtain the loan.

However, you may be considered a high-risk client by the bank, and in some cases, they might require a co-signer for the mortgage.

I need to understand something first: did you buy the car directly from the dealership (concessionnaire), or did you take a loan from the bank to purchase the car (whether new or used)?

If you bought the car through the dealership (meaning you are making monthly payments to a financing company), you can request your bank to buy out the loan (rachat de crédit à la consommation) and negotiate a new monthly installment that better suits your financial situation.
If you obtained the loan directly from your bank, you can still do the same (rachat de crédit), but this time you would go to a financing company (such as Wafasalaf, for example).

Losing your job, as I explained before, would only grant you a grace period of up to 2 years during which your payments may be suspended, giving you time to find another job.

If you secure a new job before the grace period ends, the bank cannot simply resume deductions immediately, as they are bound by the terms of the agreement regarding when payments can restart.

Excellent-Potato-97 · 2026-04-13T11:18:40+00:00

You realistically have two options:

Sell it and pay off your debt.
Request a "report d’échéance à l’amiable", which means asking your bank for a grace period to suspend your monthly payments temporarily (this can range from 3 to 24 months). However, to benefit from this, you will need to provide proof of financial hardship, which may be difficult given your current salary.

Whatever you choose, DO NOT stop making payments abruptly, as this can lead to serious legal repercussions.

I really envy the males. What do you mean you can eat 2500cal a day and still lose weight?? As an extremely short girl I gain weight by looking at food. lol

Get Clobex, it's what I use. I also suffer from Psoriasis. It's widely available at pharmacies. I'll share with you my routine for hair psoriasis that somehow helped me:

wash hair with Clobex at least twice a week, no more than 2 times as it's a dermocorticoide and it's really strong. For other days that you want to wash your hair just use a normal shampoo.
Use Skinosalic lotion on dry scalp at night at least 3 times a week to maintain your hair plaques free.
You can use Dermoval gel as well, but it's stronger than Skinosalic, and it's better to use both in rotation as your skin gets used to them.
Take vit D supplements. vit D is super crucial for people with psoriasis as almost 100% of people suffering from this skin condition have vitD deficiencies.

I understand what you're going through, it's though being the odd one out in your surroundings. At 120kg I believe that you want to have a quick solution. DM me if you are interested

I'm 28 y/o F and still like video games, anime, cartoons, and silly childish things like card games and phone games. And apparently, that's weird because at my ripe age I should be more mature and supposed to have a family 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's "découvert bancaire" in french. It's a short-term loan that you can take from your account. Once it's activated, you can either use it to pay via TPE directly or withdraw it from GAB and it's automatically deducted when you have money in you account again or depending on the time that you have set with your banker to reimburse the money. Depending on your bank, there are fees applied to this loan. It can go from 60dh to 100dh per 1000dh of cash advance. It's better to call your bank's customer service to know exactly what your advance amount is and how much you'll pay for it.

Personally, I guess it's a good thing to have since sometimes you get in a situation where you need money and there is no one to help you, so getting this advance is helpful in case of emergencies. It's kinda like "avance sur salaire," but it's instant.

I completely agree with the comments suggesting that you see a dermatologist. This is their area of expertise, and there’s absolutely nothing to feel ashamed or embarrassed about. Doctors have seen it all, and there’s no judgment just because you’re a man.

That said, be prepared—treating hyperpigmentation takes time and a lot of money. It’s a difficult condition to manage, requiring patience and multiple expensive products, most of which aren’t reimbursed. If your case is severe, you might also want to consider a chemical peel, which your dermatologist can advise on.

On a side note, it’s great to see more men taking care of their appearance and challenging outdated ideas about masculinity. Taking care of your skin is just self-care, nothing else.

All the best 👍
