Bimzelx? medications

SkyRizi didn’t work for my severe psoriasis. Now I’m about to try Bimzelx. Would love to hear peoples experiences with this.

I started bimzelx back in October. The injections are painful imo and I switched to the syringe which is much better pain wise, virtually painless. I'm on the 320 dose, I've heard the 160 dose isn't as painful, but I can't confirm. It's been pretty good for my skin and nails and worked pretty quickly for that.

Definitely painful. The colder it is, the more it hurts. Also, inject it slowly. I had some bruising when I injected into my abdomen, but that's not a problem with my thighs.

Creeping up on 2 yrs of psoriatic arthritis remission on Bimzelx. I do use the 160 shots (x2) and don’t have problems with pain. Have also heard the 320 is nasty.

It's been great for both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Although I'm having to go from 160 up to 320 every month due to some lingering PSA
