medications Biologics keep losing effectiveness/ Long term options
Has anyone else had several biologics lose effectiveness over time?
I was on Stelara for 6 years before it stopped working, even after doubling the dose in the last months before stopping. I then switched to Bimzelx, which I had to stop after a year due to bad side effects (infections etc.) and loss of effectiveness. Now, after about a year on Skyrizi, I'm experiencing constant painful flare-ups again.
Before biologics, I tried MTX and topicals (but those aren't viable options anymore for me)
I'm getting really stressed about what comes next, especially since I've already failed multiple biologics. I'm 21, and the thought of potentially going through this repeatedly for the rest of my life is pretty overwhelming.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What are you on now, and did you eventually find something that worked long-term?
