Cosentyx for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Caroline]

Were you walking a lot yesterday in the city?
Can your score have gone up because of that walking?
Where is the most effect on according to the score?

Great that you have no side effects

Yes a lot of walking, but the score has been going up slowly for the last week.

The most noticeable is in my right shoulder and arm, but it's still better than it was before going onto Cosentyx.

This may sound odd as I only took my shot 12 hours ago, but it already feels like its working again.

I've only been on it a short while, but this has to be the best Bio ever so far for me.

Great news fred those scores are good ...despite being up a bit, probably as you say due to all the walking about ....its great that you rate it higher than Stelara .....which you were reluctant to come off as it had been so good for you for a long time

Yes I thought nothing would beat Stelara, but even in such a short time of using it I have to say Cosentyx is far better.

Time will tell and as you know I'm always sceptical, but this is one hell of a treatment Jim and I'm enjoying the ride.

I can tell you are enjoying the ride ....long may it last ....I hope it's longer than Stelara for you

Good to hear of your success, Fred. I am glad that you were switched fairly promptly when it became clear that the Stelara didn't cut it. Have you ever thought of how different things might have been if DMF could be dissolved in merlot?

Cheers,

Bill

Thank you Bill.

No I hadn't thought about DMF and Merlot. I'll give it some thought right now.  

No thank you.  

[Fred]

Not sure if it's related, but as it mentions diarrhoea or stomach pain being something to watch for I thought I would add a note here for future reference.

I was fine Saturday, but Sunday was not good. I've had a bit of diarrhoea and my stomach feels like there is a roller coaster going around and around.

Feeling pretty rubbish today though the diarrhoea has stopped, but my stomach is still feeling awful and I had to get up early today too to help get the mobile home moved.

Will keep an eye on it and hope it's nothing to do with Cosentyx

[jiml]

Oh fred I hope it's just a bug and not related to the cosentyx. Good luck I hope your stomach stops churning soon
