Is anyone here on Taltz (a biologic drug)? This is the third one I've been on after Humira and Cimzia and while it's working well for my autoimmune condition (and my hayfever!) it has destroyed my immune system. Every few weeks or so I get a bug or infection and I've been on almost constant antibiotics for the last few months. When I talk to my consultant he just says that the evidence says that Taltz has less of an impact on your immune system than other drugs and blames the fact that I have a 5 year old (who is never ill). I know it's only anecdotal but if anyone has experienced the same thing, I'd love to know so that I don't feel like I'm going mad! I never had a problem will illnesses on previous drugs and I was on Humira for 10 years or so.
