Taltz was on offer but when I asked if I could switch back to Cosentyx if it didn't work so well for the psoriatic arthritis, she said she wouldn't be keen to do that. So I decided that as my priority was the psoriatic arthritis and I'm very happy with the way it is, I would hold Taltz on the back burner.
I have gone back to the recommended 4 weeks between shots as the 3 weeks didn't make any difference to the psoriatic arthritis and to be honest it didn't need any more help.
So next week will by my 2nd birthday on Cosentyx and I will continue till my next appointment in 6 months and go from there.
On a side note Enstilar is now available in France so I will be using that as and when I need it instead of the diprosone.
Psoriatic arthritis score: 1 could almost be 0 but I still obviously have it and still get a little stiff in the arms and fingers when waking up for around 5 minutes.
Psoriasis score: Staying around the 5 at the moment.
That's what I would have done Fred , the Enstillar is really good though it does take a while before it appears to work but it does work. All the best and I hope that the P can be brought under control, just got my Stelara and I have decided to stick with it at 10 weeks.
