Cosentyx update

General

I’ve now been on cosentyx for around 7 months. I was put on the higher dose right from the start. I’ve had sub par control for a long time. I had a little teaser of what like could be like on rinvoq, And if there was the possibility of virtually no symptoms and no fatigue, but then I had a DVT and had to stop it.

I’m frustrated. While I had an initial response that was slow, it was definitely a response. But for the last almost a month I have been in rough shape again. Massive amounts of fatigue, joint pain and new joint pain. I put myself on a two-week course of nsaids and I think I created a new problem.

Can I still expect that it will improve again or is this it?

Stoney, I wish I had an answer for you. Maybe some of the other members could weigh in and this comment will bump it up. I am sorry for all your progress to be thwarted by a DVT. For me cosentyx only worked for about 2 years. Thats pretty much all I so now. Use a biologic for 2-3 years and switch. Everything stops working. I do hope they make more of them because I am running out of options. I am on Skyrizi now.

Did you doc give you a plan for what to do next?
