Hello all I am currently taking Humira and have been since September 2017. I have guttate psoriasis and since I started taking this drug there has been very little or not improvement.

Is there anyone out there who is struggling with this drug and is overweight too ? The hospital keep saying lose weight which I am trying to do but it isnt easy and hu

re my last message ..... The Humira isnt working so I am going onto Cosentyx which I hope will work. Is anyone else struggling with weight issues alongside their psoriasis ? Andrew.
