Hello Ashwicks, as it's your first bio the tiredness is something you will notice. But it will get better as time goes by and your body gets used to it. Basically your body is detecting something is not right after the bio gets into your system and at first may try to fight it, but once it understands that it's a good thing the tiredness will calm down.
I always found Stelara the worst for causing tiredness and put it down to be a large dose (3 months between shots) Cosentyx has never given me any tiredness, not even with the loading dose. But you are loading up and once you get to the maintainance dose (1 month between shots) you should find it gets easier.
As for the diarrhoea it is one of the most common side effects and some of our members have said it has effected them for a short time, but for me it has never been a problem.
Keep an eye on both things and report to your dermatologist if it continues, but don't let it put you off as I feel your body will get used to what is going on and Cosentyx is probably the best bio out there at the moment.
