Had my dermatology appointment today and it's a so-so result.
The psoriatic arthritis is still almost gone apart from one middle finger that has a little swelling but no pain, that's the good bit.
Now for the bad bit. What I thought was still Heat Rash on my stomach apparently is not. She thinks it is either being caused by the Cosentyx or the psoriasis spreading.
After a long chat we have decided to carry on with Cosentyx for another 6 months and I have also had a biopsy so we can confirm exactly what it is.
So it looks like I may have to start doing a lot of thinking about my next move, if it is indeed the Cosentyx causing it I will have to stop using it. On the other hand if it is psoriasis I will have to decide whether to carry on or move onto Taltz or Tremfya.
Psoriatic arthritis score: 1
Psoriasis Score: I'm scoring up from 4 to 9
