Hey yall, I took my first dose of Apremilast this morning! I was sent home with 10 days worth, 2x daily, so far, I feel the same. I hope I'm getting the real thing, that would be great but I've got a 75% chance of getting meds and a 25% of getting placebo and after 8 weeks everybody will be getting the medicine, so I can wait.

Well, Day 2...  I noticed maybe a slight improvement in my stiffness this morning, maybe a coincidence but duly noted, my pain levels are still the same but my skin looks much better, most of the redness is gone.

I am also crossing my fingers! But not my toes. I don't want them to fuse that way.

Well, week two...so far, so good...my inflammation levels are down and my energy levels are up, I think because I'm sleeping better due to less pain...also, stiffness levels are down significantly! I kind of tricked my study doc today....I was chatting her up while she was a little distracted.... I asked her what they make the placebo out of and she told me it was basically nothing and I asked her if there was anything in it that could possibly cause a little stomach upset about 20 minutes after taking it...and she said no....
