Hi JosephinO,

Been on the Taltz now since 20th July and have had in total 5 doses.  My skin is no longer "on fire".  I have got an awful lot of "staining" though where the Psoriasis Plagues were. Suffered with pain, redness and swelling at the injection sites, but they soon went after several days. H o w are you doing?

@Liam2863 Hello Liam,

That's reaolly brilliant that some of your symptoms have abated and the redness etc at the injection sites have disappeared.

I'm doing very well, thank you for asking.

Have other members experienced similar symptoms to Liam?
