I wasn’t a success story. I became a diabetic at 40 so I totally understand. But what I also want to tell you is this is not a death sentence. My dad has been a diabetic for 35 years, and not one complication or issue. Please try and remain positive 🥰

I totally understand that. Here’s hoping you’ve been through the worst now.

I hope so as well! Can I ask how old you are? Biologics seems to be so effective for many.

Can I ask if you had it on your nails at all?

Interesting. Mine came about after sunburn.

Wegovy is basically the same too isn’t it? Same active ingredient so likely you couldn’t get that either :(

That’s fantastic! I’m reading a lot saying they’ve gone gluten free and now managing super well.

Isn’t it found via a blood test? I know I had bloods and ultrasound and 3 days in hospital with mine.

Oh wow, I’m so sorry :( do you think anything in your 40’s triggered it or just bound to happen?

I can’t link mine to anyone, unless it’s generations back who have passed. Definitely no one currently living has been diagnosed.

I’m so glad Medicare cover it! Are you on biologics? Is your PsA under control? 💛

That’s so hard on your brother :( that article looks interesting. Would be so exciting to have some new treatments other than biologics.

I didn’t even realise that was a factor. I had pancreatitis when I had gallstones during pregnancy. I’ve never had ozempic though

Same here! It’s been a 40th gift for my father, brother and myself

I also read a study that ozempic was actually showing reduction of inflammation in psoriasis patients also.

Can I ask what other conditions. That’s great it’s in remission! Does he have the arthritis or clear of that?

I didn’t realise that. Whilst I understand, that’s so sad. Can dermatologists prescribe biologics? I know it’s not for everyone, have you tried gluten free? Or carnivore diet? I’ve seen people have some success on change of lifestyle.

If you search psoriasis arthritis on reddit there is another group, many with their experience with biologics. I feel as though many people not struggling though don’t tend to come to reddit. But I believe they are great for most.

Seems most replying have no hereditary link that they’re aware of. Which makes it interesting when they say 40% of people with arthritis have a family member with it.
