malada: Canadian flag text I stand with Canada (Default)
Tuesday, June 4th, 2024 07:52 am
After jumping through hoops I've taken delivery (it's mail order only) of a new script for my psoriasis. The medicine is called Sotyku (Deucravacitinib) and it apparently works by suppressing my over active immune system.

I'm not sure I like this. The drug may cause increased chances of infections, colds and some cancers like lymphoma. My parents and my aunt all had lymphoma. Good grief.

The list of side effects puzzles me since they include rash, hives, red itchy skin, blisters or peeling skin. Geeze, that what my psoriasis looks like.

I've been messed up by medication before. I really hope I don't have side effects with this one.
