My Cosentyx journey begins

[Hawklight]

Hi Plaque32092!


I just joined the Psoriasis club.  So I am newbie, searching around looking for information.  Your journey is so inspiring to me!!! I can' t tell you how happy I am to hear that you are 99.9% clear!!!

I have plaque psoriasis all over my legs, arms, back, head.  Just Miserable. Often I can't sleep well.  I am sure you know - as everyone on this site suffers.  

I am currently in light therapy - but without any success.  I am so fair skinned that as soon as I get up to a more healing level, I either burn or have a bad reaction.  

So my doctor has prescribed Cosentyx.  I have been scared about the suppressing my immune system etc.  But I am just so fed up with this disease!  I live in California, in the Santa Cruz mountains and my husband and I are very active like you.  

My insurance company says they will approve it no problem and the drug company called yesterday and told me they would provide the copay card so I would have no out of pocket expenses for this treatment. 

Your story, brings tears to my eyes and gives me hope!!

Thank-you so much for sharing your journey!!
