My Journey w Cosentyx

[mbetsysmith]

I started cosentyx yesterday.  I have psoriasis on my scalp, my hands and my feet.  I was diagnosed in early Jan after 2 years of having no idea what was going on.  I thought I had calluses on the bottom of my feet along with the few rashes   I was given and over used expensive and very strong creams that didn't really help. My regular dermatologist tried to help me get on Enbrel for months, I was denied, tried another angle but I was still waiting.   I finally went to a psoriasis center.  The doctor started me on Cosentyx that day. Even pending the paperwork. 
(I had my recent lab work with me from previous doctor I was seeing).   This is my journey.

I was given 2 injections yesterday, in the doctors office.  They were completely painless.  Last night I woke up with a headache, I dont ever get headaches so I am thinking that this may be from the medication.  I still have it but advil has helped.  I also feel achy in my arms,and like I have little strength in them which is odd as well.  On the very positive side, I dont feel my feet hurting.  They dont itch, burn, or tingle. Even the crack I had isn't painful. My hands dont burn either. I am so hopeful for good things!

thank you.  I had saved that yesterday.  What I lost was a new post I had started today.  Im sure it was my fault.  Thank you for looking and caring.  I did rewrite my story and I posted it where you suggested so I can update easily.  another newbie question, when I update do I do back to my thread and post like a reply?  I will look at your tutorials under help as well before posting a follow up.  Thank you again.
