Well I started my first injection on Tuesday for Cosentyx and I have to say my psoriasis is already disappearing and its only been 6 days.  I am really excited and being optimistic, I will keep everyone updated on my progress.

Wow Nick that's a great result  Smile  I have heard here before how fast it can work . I hope this will be the start of a whole new life flake free and carefree. I will follow your progress with great interest .

Cosentyx seems to be the miracle drug, from what I have read, it's a shame they don't prescribe it as a firstline drug  Thumb

That's great!  I had the same initial result with Taltz but the second shot "backfired" [thread=4114] and it quickly came back as bad or worse.

Started Cosentyx a couple months ago and it's been great for me as well.  After the first five "loading" doses though, it started coming back before my first maintenance dose, and now a week after that it's still coming back.

Best of luck!

Good luck with it Nick, it's getting some very good reviews. I've recently started on it myself and it's doing very well.

Well completed my second injections on Tuesday this week and 11 days since I started Cosentyx.  So far all my small spots of psoriasis on my hands have completely cleared, the larger spots on my body have no more plaque, but are still slightly pink in colour.  Have to say for 11 days this medication is really working.  I will give another update on week 3

Take my advice; I don't use it anyway.
