Psoriasis treatment with crohn desease

[mataribot]

Stelara has a higher dose that is effective with crohns. Some of the IL 23A may help as well.

Hello again everyone ! I have started otezla 8 days ago. The side effects are awful. Nausea,  headaches and depression are very strong. I also cant eat very well... i have an appoitment with my derm this week to see whst to do . I might stop the treatment. I wish i could go back to cosentyx .

[jiml]

That sounds very unpleasant for you. The side effects you mention are worrying and it sounds to me as if Otezla is not for you . I’m not sure why  you were taken off Cosentyx but I would ask how it affects Crohns ... if you have never been on Stelara do ask about that as it can be used with crohn  and Psoriasis

Good luck
Jim

I had pain in my gut i went for colonoscopy and the biopsy shown crohns.. i dont know if cosentyx cause it or it just happend .My derm said i cant take cosentyx anymore because of crohn and she stoped it.

I would tell her that otezla is not for you either, tell her that Stelara can help both conditions I’ll send you a private message

DMF is a possibility, It moderates Crohns as well as Psoriasis.

Yes I'm with Jim ask about Stelara.

I know it's easy to say, but try not to let depression get a hold of you. You can always talk to us here, we may not have all the answers but it may help to offload a bit. We have a dedicated thread for our members about depression should you ever need it: [Group Specific]

Ps. What is the diffrence between stelara and humira?

They go after a different target in your body. It's a bit difficult to explain, but today most Bio's aim for the IL (interleukin) as they are finding they give better results.

If you have a choice between the two I would suggest going for Stelara.
