Road to Cosentyx, or should I say Co$entyx

[jiml]

Long story short, I got sick, really sick, and couldn't start Cosentyx. Then I had an attack 2 weeks ago, and an MRI last Friday, which revealed really bad arthritis in my pelvis and lumbar region and fun fun fun, a tumor on my L5- benign, but still. Gotta see the orthro April 6th. Maybe something, maybe a hitchhiker.

But, yesterday, I got and started my Cosentyx. Terrible pain still, can't wait for it to kick in. But I'm in the club, kids.

Wow that's a lot of grief for you ...sooo glad to see you back though, I hope the tumour doesn't cause you problems as it's benign   let's hope it's nothing and the ortho will put your mind at rest  

Let's hope now you're on Cosentyx you will start to get relief not only for your skin but the arthritis as well

Keep them updates coming

Thanks! I haven't had skin problems actually, just nails and insides. Weird, huh? I'm in the little %

If it helps I have found Cosentyx to be the best thing ever for psoriatic arthritis.

I hope it gives you the same results, good luck.

Let's hope you never get the psoriasis, on your skin but look forward to hearing how it works on your joints

THAT HELPS! I'm in a major flare right now. I took 300 units, I don't know what they are- they gave it to me at the hospital from a sample (a $5k sample  ) Do you think that will calm the flare down soon? Because honestly I'm working with a new pain management doctor and nothing he gives me helps, and it's like he writes for 8 days, and I'm like hello, my roommate is taking my pants off for me, or they ain't coming off...

I've made it this far   ...that's great to know that it was painless .....I have not been on Cosentyx but what I have read is that it can work fast ...but I'm sure others will tell of their experience..

Sorry to here that the arthritis is having such a bad effect on your life

I look forward to reporting on more than just the needle not hurting. There was blood, evidence it went in, which honestly was a relief. I could not feel it at all!

My nerves are a bit busy in the back right now.
