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!
