Took my first shots today. Two shots, right into the flab which is my stomach. My medicine comes in a cooler. I'm keeping a very positive mindset that it will work. I will try to keep post updates once in awhile. Cheers!

Good luck, yes you need to keep it in the fridge.
Tip: Take it out for around half an hour before injecting. It can sting a little if cold.

Go for it..I'm on Cosentyx for almost 2 years & P has almost cleared up with zero side effects. I did try to reduce the dose some time ago but condition worsened a little. I'm back on 300 mg dose again & hoping to reduce it again when summer comes. Hopefully, like me you will be able to forget that you have a skin condition.

So, I had my first shot a couple days ago and so far so well. In fact, things are already starting to happen. I'm very hopeful. Still very early in the game so I'm just taking it day by day. Shots were practically painless. No major side effects yet. Thanks again to everyone!

I look forward to hearing how it progresses
