Third week of injections of my start up with Cosentyx. Tried my outer thigh and wasn't pressing firm enough and had Cosentyx dripping down my leg. UGH. Other injection was done in other thigh further towards the top. No bruising at all this week and no bleeding. I am afraid of doing injection in my abdomen. Don't ask me why. I have a fatty liver and want to stay away from the right side of my abdomen I guess. The only improvement I am seeing so far with my plaque psoriasis is less flakiness and less pain somewhere in the areas on the bottom of my leg. Also somewhat less itchiness. Positive thinking....
ALT liver enzyme slightly high at 62. According to lab should be 32 or lower. Mine always hovers around 52. So it only went up 10. All other liver function tests normal. Will visit liver doc on 7/31. The PA at the dermos office seemed kind of clueless today about liver tests, etc. She told me follow up with my liver/gastro doc. He is the best! Top guy in the city. He is familiar with biologics as he prescribes Humira for Crohns, etc. I look forward to my visit with him.
I am hoping between weeks 4 and 5 of Cosentyx I too see a lot of improvement. This seems to be the magical weeks for a lot of people for some reason. It's so hard being patient sometimes! lolo
