hi members,
Trying to make my mind up and would really appreciate your input / experiences. Humira, possibly with MTX or Cosentyx.
I'm new, see 'intro ArteMie" in the right place. PASI 11.5 so eligible for biologicals. Tried UVB (doesn't work anymore...), dymethilfumerate (enteric coated, slow release, still horrible tummy pains.. ) and lots of creams.
Been to an academic hospital and had bloodwork done. if the results are positive I can choose:
- partake in study; Humira in combination with a low dose of MTX. 50% of partakers get MTX, the other half only Humira. Computer chooses.
- go for Cosentyx.
I hear good things about Cosentyx. Some nightmare stories but mostly good. The hospital says I can have it but they're slightly reluctant because the medicine is still relatively new; no long term data on side effects.
Whats your view / experience? Would be great to have some input to help me make a choice.
