Cosentyx for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Bill]

That is great, Fred, but the mindset of avoidance causes a lot of unnecessary misery. Would people be doing the same with diabetes or high blood pressure?

Cheers,

Bill

Avoidance is the only response to a broken healthcare system. Have multiple chronic illnesses? Good luck sorting out the side effects. Refusals to be allowed to change medication or being priced out of another option leads people choose this path.

Psoriatic arthritis score has gone back up to 2. I had a full 3 days and nights without any feeling of psoriaitc arthritis and it was goooooooooooooooooood.

If it stays below a 5 I will be very happy.

Yes I'm still pleased with the way it's working, next shot in two weeks after appointment with dermatologist. I haven't seen her for over three months so it will be interesting to get her thoughts, Mrs Fred says she has noticed a huge change in the way I'm moving so I think she will be impressed.

I like the sound of that Fred , I think that this is one treatment that may be even better than the Stelara for me as my PsA is getting worse and I have patches of P starting in various places.

Dave it's much better than Stelara, I've never felt this good on over 6 years of Stelara.

My derm mentioned it the last visit that he had started using it so I have an appointment in March ish and I will bring up the subject.

Push for it Dave, you will be amazed.

Got bloods done and everything is perfect. In fact my Proteine C Reactive is the best I've ever seen at 1,3. The result form says it should be below 5 but I'm usually around the 8 - 12 mark.

Oh and my psoriatic arthritis score that I keep here has gone down from 2 to 1.

Dermatology appointment next Wednesday.
