Hello from Scott

[jiml]

Hi my name is Scott.  I have both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.  I have had psoriasis for 41 years and psoriatic arthritis for about 19 years.  I am currently in search of a new med to treat my psoriatic arthritis.  I was on Enbrel for about 15 years but it stopped working.  Since then I have tried Humira, Stelara, Otezla (Apremilast) and methotrexate, but nothing has seemed to work for me.  Once I clear up a few insurance issues I hope to try Cosentyx.  If anyone has experience with Cosentyx and Psoriatic Arthritis I would be interested in hearing about it.  My psoriasis is currently almost clear but the Psoriatic Arthritis has me almost fully disabled.

I look forward to meeting many of you.

Hi Scott and welcome   to the forum I am also a long term sufferer of this awful disease without the arthritic aspect of it .... Although I'm being tested for that now.

You have come to a great place to discuss the disease and the various treatments, as Fred has said we have members on the treatment you want to try Cosentyx, but as is the way with forums people come for answers get relief, and don't keep us updated which is a shame as the information is of great interest to others

I have been lucky enough to avoid biologicals so far but it's nice to have them in reserve....but I hope you can get Cosentyx and look forward to hearing more from you how it works on your crippling psoriatic arthritis  
I look forward to meeting you on the various boards on the forum and maybe even in the off topic section that is always welcoming ....
Good luck and I hope you can get some relief from he pain and hope you will get some help from our members
