Advice needed about DMARDs

[jiml]

#1 Your dermatologist can prescribe Cosentyx.

#2 What about Enbrel.

Here the only one my rheumatologist can prescribe is Simponi (golimumab) but I don't know of anyone using it.

As for Leflunomide or Sulfasalazine I can't help as I've never used them, hopefully others will know more.

Welcome to the psoriatic arthritis club by the way.  

Thanks Fred glad so now I'm in the psoriatic arthritis club ... Not sure I wanted to join that club  

I will speak to the dermatologist next month and discuss coming off Fumaderm in favour of Cosentyx ...but I doubt he will prescribe it ( that's if I don't get one of his underlings) who will do nothing

The rheumatologist wanted me on DMARDs and told me she wouldn't give biological drugs until I had failed on more ( cheaper options) and got more than 3 swollen joints ....apparently I have it but not bad enough to be considered
I am waiting for an appointment to see the rheumatology nurse now as I think the rheumatologist was annoyed that I wouldn't even consider methotrexate ( having given up on it before)
