Marks intro psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis

[jiml]

Hi
I am a 46y/o guy I have had psoriasis most of my life.  In more recent years I have been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis as well.  I have moved from several messy creams, light treatment, pills, and Enbrel, Stelara, and Humira injections.  Most recently I have had an acute reaction to Humira after moving from bi-weekly injections to weekly injections.  The reaction started as an itchy rash on both arms and quick spread up my arms over my shoulders and into my trunk area.  My dermatologist has just taken me off Humira completely.  At this point I am waiting for the Humira to clear my system so I can start cosentyx in about a month.  I am hoping for better results with cosentyx.

Hi Marks and a big   to the club it sounds as if you have been through the mill with the various treatments .....it's a shame that Humira has affected you badly ....it's strange how drugs different people.
I hope when you get your Cosentyx you get good results, as Fred has said a few of our members have had good experience with it.....
