psoriasis 50 yrs and psa 10 yrs

[Raxyl]

Hello,
I've been reading posts on here for maybe a couple months and am finally doing my introduction.
I was born w/psoriasis. I turned 50 yesterday. I've had psoriatic arthritis about 10 yrs but didn't realize that's what it was. 
I've been trying to manage it all with diet and lifestyle, also tanning beds. However, the progression of symptoms made me realize I could no longer manage this horrible disease on my own.
Skipping ahead, my dermatologist got me samples of Cosentyx in hopes it would be approved by my insurance but they want me to try Humira first.
My first loading does of Cosentyx began on 8/24/18 and did all 5 weeks before the insurance denial. I did just 150 mg instead of 300 mg.
My psoriasis started clearing so quickly. It was amazing. It didn't do anything noticeable for the psoriatic arthritis. No noticeable side effects.
I will be starting Humira, assuming all goes as planned. I hear Humira works pretty well for psoriatic arthritis and I'm trying to ignore the negative stuff I read about it.
This forum seems amazing.
