Hey Guys ... totally found you by accident today. This morning I did my second loading dose of Cosentyx and I was googling info on how long it took for people to see results and found this board.
My psoriasis started in my teens and I've had a pretty nasty go with it. I developed PsA in my early 30's and was slammed so badly, I thought my life would be lived in agony from a wheelchair. At that point, I was put on MTX and did infusions for close to a decade, I moved to Simponi and that was ok, but my body got used to it. Apremilast (Otezla) does less than zero for both my skin and joints, and last Monday I did my first loading dose of Consentyx. This morning was my 2nd loading dose (I'm doing 300 mg.).
Popped on here before for the first time and started looking around to see how this has worked for people. I think my skin is actually reacting already. My joints are still abominable - my coccyx, at the base of my spine is a painful mess.
Can't wait for some relief! Will let you all know how I do. I didn't take pics last week, but I think I'll start doing that and posting.
