My Diagnosis Journey…

Aaron:
You just wake up one day, and I remember having something on my shin. It was just itchy. I didn’t know whether I had gotten some poison ivy or what the case was.

Aaron:
It took like three different doctors to figure out what it was, and they kept misdiagnosing it.  But once I found out that it was psoriasis of course it takes some adjusting, you’ve got to kind of accept the fact that you’re gonna have this the rest of your life.

Managing my Psoriasis…

Aaron:
You’ve gotta work with your doctor. If you don’t have a doctor that you think is working hard for you or you think that has patience working with the psoriasis patients then change doctors.

Aaron:
There’s a lot of good dermatologists out there so don’t give up on finding the right doctor and don’t give up on finding the right treatment. 

On-screen Text:
In clinical trials, 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months.

My treatment experience with SKYRIZI…

Aaron:
Alright, so when it comes to my journey with my SKYRIZI treatment, it’s really been effective for me.

On-screen Text:
4 doses a year after 2 starter doses.

Aaron:
It really fits my schedule because you’re talking about the frequency of your dose after your loading doses. You get to go on the maintenance schedule and that really fits well for my active lifestyle, my active job cycle and the things that I’ve gotta get done.
