Newbie Intro SadieMae1

[SadieMae1]

Hello everyone. I’m from the State of Georgia in the USA. I’m excited to be a part of this fourm. I was first diagnosed with PsA back in 2016. After Methotrexate and Enbrel failed me, my Rhematologist prescribed Cosentyx. I injected 150 mg last Friday. On Saturday out of know where I became so overwhelmed that I was going to pass out. It was so scary. Then I had bad stomach pains and cramps. Then here comes the diarrhea. I started to feel a little better until about 10 minutes later ... this horrible nausea came over me. I projectile threw up  2 times then this extreme fatigue set in that lasted 2 days. I was curious if anyone else has had these side effects? I’m hoping that was a one time thing. Thank you!

Hi SadieMae and    to the club I hope you enjoy yourself with us, as we are all just sufferers of psoriasis looking for a safe way to control it

I'm surprised that you have had that reaction to the Cosentyx I have not been on biologicals yet but a lot of members have and I'm sure they will give you the benefit of their experience
The symptoms you list are listed as possible side effects but they might subside after your body gets used to it
However I would let your dermatologist know and see what he advises
You can read a bit about cosentyx here Cosentyx (secukinumab)

I look forward to reading the outcome for you and was wondering if the problem passed after a while and have you been alright since

Welcome SadieMae, I'm also from Georgia!

I will be starting Cosentyx soon and the dermatologist did ask if I had any stomach issues (Crohn's, IBS, etc) as I guess Cosentyx can be an issue. Hopefully it was a one time thing and I'm sure you'll hear experiences from other Cosentyx users soon.

Hi nice to meet you
I’m afraid I haven’t tried Cosentyx, I have tried Taltz, Stelara and Humira. I haven’t noticed any worse stomach problems directly after a jab, but I would tell my doc if I thought it was connected.

Hello SadieMae   to Psoriasis Club.

Yes like Jim said what you are describing is listed on the side effects. I have been on Cosentyx 2.5 years and not had any side effects, but we are all different.

I would say if it continues it would be best to contact your dermatologist.

Regards.

Fred.

Thank you everyone for all of your responses and the warm welcome. I felt nauseated this morning after breakfast but, now I’m fine.

I would think if it's bearable stick with it . But mention it to the dermatologist as they need to know, if for no other reason so they can report it to Cosentyx
