Cosentyx for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Fred]

All good options for you, Fred. I understand why you would stick with Cosentyx, but why the objection to Otezla? There are plenty of treatments that I would not touch, but for all I know they might work very well for me.

Thank you Bill.

Re Otezla:

#1 I don't like taking any oral treatments. I'll put up with a pounding headache rather take a paracetamol.

#2 If I did have to Otezla would be low on my list as it can cause Gastro problems and depression, so no thank you.

#3 As I said before a Bio has to do the job on it's own in my opinion. I don't see the point in taking such an expensive treatment that is supposed to do the job on it's own, and top it up with another psoriasis treatment.

A little bit of topical is ok if I get a flare up, but even then I'm not happy having to use two treatments.

My quest is to find an injection under the skin that keeps me free of both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, I'm getting there and there are still others waiting for me to try so you can keep your tablets.
