Question about Cosentyx

[martin222]

well all my creams and lotions that cost me an arm and a leg didnt work, hospital tomorrow, hopefully they will give me something that works,

Hi Martin good luck tomorrow be firm and don't accept more creams .... ask for at least a systemic to help control the disease and be firm and tell them that you have given creams a fair try but aren't prepared to carry on that route, knowing from your searches of the forum that there are effective treatments which you should be given to try . There will be one that will work .....
I look forward to hearing what the dermatologist gives you when you return

thanks jim, will let you know..,,,,, well had my hospital appointment today,, and after chest xray and blood test, i begged for cosyntix  or stelera, but no chance its going to be methatrexate. and the doctor said i cant give you cosyntix cos im scared, theres to many unanswered questions about bio drugs n you might develop cancer?? lol but she did say there very very expensive, and that says alot. fobbed off?? maybe 

Hi Martin. I'm glad you have got something even if it is Methotrexate, it's a drug that's widely used and as I think we all warned you, it's one of the drugs that you have to try as it's part of the protocol ...but it could very well work for you....it worked for me ....but I just couldn't tolerate it.....many on here use it and it works for them without any problems

For your dermatologist to suggest the reason for not giving you Cosentyx is for fear of it giving you cancer, is scandalous ....all drugs as you can read on here have to go through rigorous trials before they come to market..The only reason they won't give it is the price is so high and Methotrexate is so cheap,

I wish you luck on the Methotrexate and hope you keep a record here if your progress

hi jim, yeah i thought it was out of order her going on about cancer, anyhow i start my methotrexate in two weeks if my bloods are clear and chest xray ok. ill keep you posted, fingers crossed
