Yes, I used Cosentyx for 8 months and it made my Psoriasis much worse. The Stelara did clear my Psoriasis 99% but, the Dermatologist stopped it after 18 months because of repeated courses of Antibiotics for Chest Infections in a 8 month period I had 5 Antibiotic courses.
Oh that is a shame. I was on Stelara for just over 6 years, but it started to lose its efficacy for me and I'm now doing very well on Cosentyx.
It just goes to show how difficult it is to treat psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and what works for one may not work for another.
Could be worth asking about Taltz, it's similar to Cosentyx but may ot cause you the same problems. But good luck with Stelara it is a good treatment, I hope you don't get chest infections again.
