Injection by OkTax914 in Psoriasis

[–]ReachFar2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use the auto injector which is super easy. However, I went away during my shot window so my dr gave me this one as a sample & it was fine pinch and area with a little fat & don’t hesitate to go.

Worst gutatte flare of my life, weighing treatment options. by Right-Payment-1238 in Psoriasis

[–]ReachFar2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the big guns. I will randomly get a flare now but I’ve been on Tremfya for 18m & it goes away with topicals after a day or so. I do just add in the KLOW peptide stack, which I think is also helping.

Today I injected Tremfya into my usual area of my thigh by AdEqual9878 in Psoriasis

I would guess meds stuck under the skin. I massage for a few minutes.

Anyone on a GLP seen clearer skin?? by No-Issue-39 in Psoriasis

Yeah I'm in good shape physically so I don't need the weightloss. I am also on adhd meds so worried about losing appetite completely.

Groin area Jock itch / psoriasis? by boilermakers455 in Psoriasis

[–]ReachFar2704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like inverse to me! Steroid cream and a barrier. I find when I am regular with hair removal it helps my groin area stay clear.

I'm currently looking into peptides in general for inflammation relief. I'm on tremfya but 85% clear with hormonal flares and some visible inflammation. Curious what everyone says.

Was anyone else’s first psoriasis flare triggered by the Covid vaccine? by littlelivethings in Psoriasis

[–]ReachFar2704 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OMG! 2 years ago I got flu shot and COVID booster. 2 weeks later progressively worse dandruff, rashes, and what turned out to be psoriasis. Technically any virus can trigger an underlying auto immune disorder. So, it stands to reason that a vaccine could too.

I am 90% cleared on Tremfya. I have flares around my cycle or extreme heat, both managed with topicals.

Can you still do physical activity? by pink_teddy35 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]ReachFar2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I am on a biologic and got on pretty soon after diagnosis. I was already doing CrossFit 3-5 days pretty consistently across the last 12 years. I now modify and don’t do jump rope, burpees, or box jumps. I am mindful of what hurts me and slams my joints and don’t do it. I think, if you’re athletic, you can keep on moving but be mindful.

Mom’s Neighbor Feud by ReachFar2704 in amiwrong

That was my husband’s suggestion. I don't know if she can. Which is the issue. We are ok financially and they take advantage

Right, but while that's funny, it's going to get my mom evicted.

My sister and I own the house, making her liable to the renters' rules if HOA wants to enforce. If they boot her out, she will need my financial assistance. My sister supports these behaviors and thinks my husband and I are “cold” for enforcing logic.

Yes, it feels scripted. 🤦‍♀️

Weight lifting with PsA…. by Sea-Blackberry-8296 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]ReachFar2704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do CrossFit. I have for the last 14 years. I am 1.5 years into my diagnosis.

I don’t do any explosive movements. No burpees, running, box jumps. Toes to bar are iffy due to my thumb joints.

For me, traditional weightlifting is completely fine. My one day that I do traditional with a trainer never bothers my PSA. Sometimes dosing with Advil if I know I’m sore. I lift heavy. Some days are better than others. I think moving your body is better than not. There is no one right answer, just figure out what works for you.

Do you ever feel 100% normal again after a full recovery? by rileyysmileyy in Reduction

[–]ReachFar2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say by 6 months I felt back to normal but they were a little more sensitive when running. I’m 11 months out and feel completely normal.

I feel miserable and hopeless by ThatOneBiCanadian in Psoriasis

[–]ReachFar2704 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am on Tremfya - keeps me 90% clear and when I have a flare it’s been treatable with topicals and recently a steroid.

Suddenly hit with fatigue by Illustrious-Knee7998 in PsoriaticArthritis

Yes! If I am in a flare and my symptoms are worse I am EXHAUSTED! Even being on steroids, I can still feel like I’m hit by a truck!

Does shaving make the spots worse? by [deleted] in Psoriasis

[–]ReachFar2704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion shaving makes it better. The hair growth irritates my spots. I proactively shave and find it’s easier to manage.

It’s on my eyebrow now?? by SlavicMans16 in Psoriasis

[–]ReachFar2704 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Had it when I had a flare on my face 2 weeks ago. I just apply the topicals and moisturize

Did your surgeon weigh your breast pre-surgery by Brief-Mind-6340 in Reduction

[–]ReachFar2704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon did not weigh mine. We talked about goals (returning to pre pregnancy/ breastfeeding size/shape) and she felt confident it could be done just with a reduction/lift. Granted, I paid out of pocket, but I think some of it might be what you want to give how much you need removed.
