Hi @davieselite

I have PsA and enthesitis. I'm not on Hyrimoz I'm on a different adalimumab anti-TNF biosimilar called Amgevita. I've been on it for just about 3 years now. It's made a significant difference for me - I'm not cured by any means but I'm in a far better place than I was 3 years ago. I've had no noticeable side effects from adalimumab. I follow the directions on what I can't eat and I'm just a bit more careful in what I do as it does leave you immunocompromised. On saying that I have a labrador dog so I'm exposed to all the cleanliness issues that that can bring. Before starting adalimumab I could only walk with the aid of elbow crutches - now I walk my dog 50-60kms a week albeit with a limp.

I hope it works for you.
