Update! I have completed my 4 / 5 loading doses and am already 95% clear. P has gone from my face and arms and torso too. Very happy. 

I get a stuffy nose a day or two after injecting, but overall, side effect free.  I have still got my sense of taste and smell too. Win!

Great news Alex. Cosentyx is certainly getting good reviews from our members, thank you taking the time to update.

Good for you, Alex. Seeing treatments work so well against this crappy illness is very comforting. I hope that Fred can get those bloody frogs to hurry up with some for him. In fact, dish it all about and you might even see the end of the whinging pom here at least.

Cheers,

Bill

I hadn't realised it had been so long since I last posted and started my treatment.

An update from me after 18 months on Consentyx

-My skin is OK at the moment, but after a recent trip to warmer climes, my the skin on my arms worsened.
- Cosentyx seems to be holding *some* of my P back 
- My medication delivery company missed a delivery by 2 weeks, which caused my P to creep back somewhat, where it has remained stubborn in some places. It almost feels like I need another loading dose to get it back on track
- I have been prescribed Enstillar to try and regain some control along side my injections.
- GP advised me to use Eumovate on the P on my face - seems to be ok but reminds me of steroids with a rebound effect.

Hope you all are well, I'll try and catch up on all the stuff I have missed!!

Hello Alex good to see you again.

In some ways it's nice to know our members can forget about Psoriasis Club as it means they are coping, but it's even nicer when people come back occasionally to give an update. So thank you for the update.

Long may Cosentyx keep holding it back for you.

Fred.

Hi Alex good to see you back and updating ...it's good to know that Cosentyx has been successful for you and hope the late delivery won't affect you too badly and the topical spray enstilar will help you back to clearance
