How Long Did It Take You To Receive A Biologic Treatment After Diagnosis?

It seems like biologics are the way to treat psoriasis. Of course, there are other barriers to think about. Things such as insurance, your health, side effects, etc.

What are your thoughts on biologics? We would like to hear from you, Diane (Team Member)

  1. 9 months!

    1. no one should have to deal with that. I am so happy for you that Skyrizi is working for you. I hope that it continues to work for you for a long time. Have you thought about sharing your story with the National Psoriasis Foundation? I know they would love to hear it. Vickie, Team Member

    2. , hello just checking in to see how your biologic is working? We would like to hear from you. Diane (Team Member)

  2. Yes! Because of the required Step Therapy!

    1. Hello , thanks for chiming in. I also had to go through the step therapy process. What a waste of precious time!!! How are you doing now? Diane (Team Member)

    2. step therapy is the worst. So many states have passed step therapy reform laws. It takes it out of the insurance company hands and puts it back to the doctor if the doctor thinks you should bypass other medication. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I had to do the same that cost me a year of basic no treatment. Hopefully you do not have to go through that again. Vickie, Team Member
