For Psoriatic Arthritis "After 2 years of trying six different biologics, my rheumatologist and I finally found one that has helped my severe PsA - Skyrizi. I use the prefilled syringes and it is so easy to dose. After two starter doses, I only have to inject once every three months! Pretty amazing! Although my symptoms are not gone, my joints feel so much better. I would say they have improved by 75%. I have only had one side effect that I get sometimes - cold sores on my lips. I use Aqaphor once or twice a day, which helps a lot. Thank goodness I have an aggressive and very positive rheumatologist. His work and this drug have made a huge improvement to my quality of life."

For Psoriasis "I had psoriasis over most of my body. Flaking scales (especially my scalp) were making me not want to go out. Skyrizi has been life-changing for me! Two and a half years using it and my skin is absolutely clear. I haven't noticed any side effects and feel very healthy."

For Psoriasis "I have taken my starter dose and it’s been about 3 months and I still don’t see any results. This is my 2nd time giving this medication a try and getting the same results. I don’t get new spots but my old spots don’t go away."

"I started Skyrizi in 2020. I have inverse psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and HD. My inverse was so severe the impact on my life was devastating. Within months, my inverse was almost completely gone with very minor flares. My PSA greatly reduced, and I have not had a single lesion from HD. After 2 years on Skyrizi, I finally was able to see a rheumatoid arthritis specialist to treat my PSA. They added sulfasalazine to my treatment. I was completely cured of all 3. Due to insurance battles, I had to go without my injection for 6 months, and all my symptoms returned. I'm a 100% service-connected disabled veteran, and the VA refused to cover Skyrizi despite being unable to take methotrexate. I have had zero side effects. Zero increase in respiratory infections. In fact, despite multiple intimate contacts with individuals with active COVID, I did not get COVID. I used to get pneumonia annually, but since starting Skyrizi, I have not gotten pneumonia. It is a miracle cure for me."

For Psoriatic Arthritis "Have been treating with several drugs over the past 8 years. First with no side effects for me. Pain & swelling returns 4 to 5 weeks prior to next injection, 10 days later I'm great again. Believe injections should be sooner as 3 months is a long time for any med to last. First one I can tolerate without rashes, medical side effects. Will keep taking it..."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I have currently taken three shots of Skyrizi. Prior to Skyrizi, I was on acitretin for about a year. To me, it seemed to have dried out all of my body parts. At 41 years old, I was scared that I was basically ruined for the rest of my life. My dermatologist introduced me to Skyrizi, and it helped my life tremendously."
