Cosentyx - Kat's journey

[Kat]

Sooo, over the weekend, this happens:




I really wanted to do nothing but Cosentyx so when I return to the dermatologist next month they can see how it is working.  But I also didn't want to start going backwards and it was getting very itchy and annoying.  So I relented and applied Taclonex.  ONE application and I could feel the results the next day.  Today, it looks like this:





When I had my flare in Dec 2017, I was on Taclonex while waiting to get approved for Stelara.  Things improved quite a bit before I ever started Stelara so I was never totally certain how well Stelara was working.  I didn't get worse however.  So I really did not want to use the Taclonex but I guess if it works out that I need to use it on occasion and use the Cosentyx to help keep psoriatic arthritis at bay as well as perhaps keeping the skin stable (since I can't use Taclonex all the time as it is a steroid ointment) then I'll do what I have to do.  I just feel that it doesn't help out here in showing how just Cosentyx is working for me.    

But wanted to update.  We'll see how it continues to go.

Edited to add:  The first picture was taken Saturday, May 4th.  It started getting itchy that Thursday or Friday.  My last loading dose was Wednesday of last week.  I applied the Taclonex the day the picture was taken (May 4th)  Just adding some details since I hadn't put them in the post.
