Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, it is great to finally find somewhere I can discuss Psoriasis with people that understand and have been through the same trials and tribulations.
The great news for me is that I have now completed week 5 of my Cosentyx and the result is amazing. I would say I am now almost 85-90% clear and feel so much better for it.
The injection pens are pretty much painless andĀ after the second go you get completely used to whole process (which takes seconds) and minor pinch/scratching feeling when administering.
I am due to have my first bloods (which are a little late) to ascertain there is nothing of concern internally. I did feel like I had a little chesty cough but that to me is a minor issue which has pretty much gone. I do plan on relaying any side effects to my consultant when I have the check-ups. I think I have some anxiety around having bloods in case my body isn't tolerating the medicationĀ but I recognise this is natural (working in mental health is beneficial) so I don't catastrophise about this.
Sorry to blabber, I will up date again in around a month,
Cheers
