Marks Cosentyx Journey

[Marks]

October 4, 2016 I received my first two injections of Cosentyx.  I saw my regular dermatologist as well as a second opinion. Both came up with a PASI score of 15%.  When I stopped the Humira injections I was 3% at the end of August. I had to stop injecting Humira due to a severe reaction to the drug after increasing the dose from bi-weekly to weekly Humira injections.  My psoriatic arthritis has been much worse for the past few months.  Also, I have one very swollen toe caused by the psoriatic arthritis.  Schedule as follows:

Week 0= Two injections
Week 1= Two injections
Week 2= Two injections
Week 3= Two injections
Week 4= Two injections

Really hoping this will provide some relief.

Hey

My Doctor always wants to have the first injection done under his supervision, but subsequent injections will be self administered at home.  I am actually expecting the next delivery for Cosentyx today.  Then I will be patiently waiting until next Tuesday to inject again waiting for results.

Hey Folks:

Week one two injections happened this morning.  Since last Tuesday my initial injection I have seen change already.  I have stopped taking Naproxen completely as of Friday and have very little pain and stiffness.  My skin is no where near as flalkey it appears it is just turning pink where all the psoriasis patches are.  Its not completely gone, but I can see the beginning of the med working.
