Cosentyx - There might be hope for me yet...

[Fred]

Thanks for the welcome guys.  Fred, you are correct, I take two 150mg injections.  I actually inject one pen per leg, which is what I have been doing from week 1.  The first two weeks were fine, it was just this third week that stung more and caused a slightly tender bump on each leg.  I am taking it as prescribed and do not want to try changing the dosage.  Compared to the side effects that are listed and not experiencing them, I feel that I am doing well so far.

Yep it's a minor thing to put up with, and the injections end up getting so much easier it becomes second nature.

As for the stinging although it's mild and soon over, have you taken it out of the fridge a while before using ?

Also injecting slowly helps, as can holding an ice pack on the injection site before doing your shot.

Just remembered you've tried all the others so probably know all this anyway.

@Jim "I don't know how I would manage putting needles in myself" You would be surprised how simple and pain free it is once you get used to it, and remember it's only under the skin.
