I haven’t had bio treatment but I seriously recommend you moving on campus or really close to your school. That walk can be hard without the heavy bag let alone all the other traveling you have to do.

My life has improved since being on a biologic. The one I’m on even helps the pain, this allows me to be more active, which in turn keeps the pain of my psoriatic arthritis at a minimum . That has been my personal experience and my biopic is Simponi. I’m sure it is different for others and other meds.

I’ve been on a biological for probably more than 15 years. First enbrel and now cosentyx. I have to be tested for TB. I haven’t had any change in my lifestyle. Continued to work at the hospital as a RN in a pediatric ward. Am retired now. Do keep up with with immunizations and was over zealous with my use of a mask and avoiding crowds during the pandemic. So my life is good.

I just had my second infusion a few days ago. No side effects at all. I feel great. I have energy and I’m not exhausted. My back isn’t so stiff. And I just created a baby quilt that I was putting off for almost nine months because I just didn’t feel well. I can move! I don’t know how lng this will last, but I am enjoying it. I was really, really nervous to go on it, but so far, I am glad I did.

I started on Humira. It worked really well, but made me depressed. Therefore I switched to Simponi infusions. I was really tired the first week, but I caught a virus and it took about three weeks to get better. I am going for my second infusion today. I hope I can stay healthy this time because my body feels great! If you plan ahead, you should be able to live in an apartment. To be social, wear a mask - especially right after taking your biologic because that is when you are most susceptible. Use the same measures you did for when you first started to get back together with people after covid and you should be okay. If you do get sick, see a doctor right away.
