Hi Michelle:
Thanks for all your postings on Apremilast, I will ask my Rheumy about it next week, it will at least be a way to see if he is up on the latest news. Very excited that you are having good results!
Also following the dog sub-thread of this, we have four American Eskimos (well three and a half) and only recently learned that the original name for the breed was German Spitz, renamed after WWII. We call 'em the white monkeys

Wow, Michelle, that is amazing news! I'm so happy for you!
Do they have any update on if/when this will be available to the general public?

Cool. Not a huge surprise since it inhibts IL 23 and TNF. This helps confirm the IL 23 connection to me

Hi Dow, I'm familiar with the German Spitz story, they used to call German Shepherds by the name Alsatian...and I think the name is still used in parts of Europe. The American Eskimo is a beautiful dog! And I like the white monkey nick-name...very cute!

Hi Megan, I haven't heard anything about a potential release date, maybe the manufacturers website may have that info, I'll check on that and get back to you on it...

Hi Drizz...I couldn't agree with you more and what was it...a little over a year ago that they announced the discovery of the connection between IL-23 and the ARTS1 gene and inflammation? and they had a drug in clinical trials within 6 months?! Boy....we've come a long way! Now if I could just convince my Primary Care Doctor that AS isn't "a men's only" disease!

HI Michelle We got lucky IL23 is associated with more widespread diseases like Crohn's and psoriasis and the drug research was well underway in those areas. We are riding those coattails but that is OK as long as it gets done Steve

Yeah Steve, that probably happened when I wasn't looking! I lost faith in new medicines after a miracle cure almost killed me, back in the nineties, had I not already known and trusted the judgement of Cindi and Shondra, I probably wouldn't have participated in their clinical trial....

My Dear Friend,
I think our police depart. uses the black dog, the Corleone.
I did see two pure white dogs a few months ago in the back of a truck at the gas station. He said they were just a hobby, but they were sure pretty.
How much do they shed?
I am gone some nights. And I am working with convicted felons;so I would like a dog that could come inside and be a comfort to my wife. Yet would be hardy enough to stay out, with shelter of course.
I have enjoyed hearing about your dogs.
Years ago we had a decendant of rin tin tin. But she was so timid, I did not take the time to teach her.....
Thanks again
Lon
