I’ve just started cosentyx doing the 5 weekly injection then once a month, however I’m on two immunosuppressants methotrexate as well weekly. Autoimmune disease really sucks!
@@andreal3239 I would love to hear more about both of your experiences. I have been on Humira, and I am currently on Embrel, but I want to get on Cosentyx. It is what my doctor wanted to get me on when switching from Humira, but insurance wanted me to try Embrel first. It has been better than Humira in some ways, but they work the same, so I still have many of the same issues. The up side hs been no Humira hangover, but the injection is more painful, and i have had way more injection site reactions with Embrel. I keep getting skin infections on both of them, though. I would love to hear why the switch to Cosentyx and how it is going!
I noticed that it did clear up my skin to a degree, but I'm not having the excellent results that some people are. Also I tend to get a lot of side effects just after taking the shots because I have to take two for to get to 300 mg. Also maybe this video was sped up, but you do have to hold it in until all the medicine has released which takes about 10 seconds and then you have to hold it for another 10 seconds before you lift it out. That ensures that all the medicine is delivered into your system. I've actually had it squirt back out if I pull it out before the 10 seconds. Anyway everyone has a different experience but that is what the instructions say and how my doctor told me to take it. The side effect that I get the most is a terrible headache that lasts for several days and swelling. It doesn't help my joint pain. Will be discussing this on next visit.
Started a year ago, all my psoriasis disappeared. Everywhere I had psoriasis has now been replaced with vitiligo. And my face that never had severe psoriasis has also been affected. It’s a bunch of bullshit but at least now I’m not getting the severe arthritis effects. Silver lining and all that.
I could never do my legs! Only my stomach!! Hope it helps u! Been on cosentyx over 4 years now. I take 150mgs per week and I tried all of the biologics prior
Wow 4 years. What are your symptoms since using? Any side effects? Allergic reaction? Etc etc etc. Same psoriasis, getting any better? I just started watching all these review and going through comments. Yours I believe is the only one I heard being on Cosentyx for that long.
The music kept us from hearing the two clicks to explain what part they play in a proper injection. I see you are just learning to do the videos though, so I admire your bravery and wish you a great future as a content provider,
I started using humera and it was painless and helped me so much pretty much by the next day I felt a complete release. I got an allergic reaction and they switched me to consentx and I can say for me it was extrémalo painful applying it (not painless like humera) and I have to inject 300 mg a week so I would inject two pens at once one on each leg and it really hurt . Still after my fifth time applying my finger joints still hurt.🥺
@@jesusismysavior2993 honestly no. It doesnt even hurt if you do it right. But now hospital switched new drug for me because cosentyx was to weak even in double dose
Been on it for a few months. Started to see /feel results in a few weeks. No side effects, skin is clear, and joint pain is almost completely gone
Just started mine today ! Really excited and nervous.
Any pain that you feel from these injections is MORE than the worth it!

I start on Tuesday! Can't wait! Thank you for this. The thigh injection seems much more pleasant than the belly one, that's for sure.

Same here. Only my stomach.
I’ve tried Cimzia, Embrel and Stelara now but tomorrow I’m going to talk to my doctor about maybe switching to this... hope it works!
Hope a speed recovery for you.
Does the injection leave a sign on skin?

Why did you stop Humira? How do you feel after Cosentyx? Is it working for you?
I started using humera and it was painless and helped me so much pretty much by the next day I felt a complete release. I got an allergic reaction and they switched me to consentx and I can say for me it was extrémalo painful applying it (not painless like humera) and I have to inject 300 mg a week so I would inject two pens at once one on each leg and it really hurt .

i had the same problem with my finger joints hurting and told my doctor...the doctor told me she never heard of people's finger joints hurting
Update, please. How does it work for you?
Cosentyx is good, but it stopped working after 6 months, now trying Taltz.
Did Taltz work for you? Did you have any side effects?
Taltz worked great but my throat closed and tongue swelled up. I’m starting Cosentyx tonight. Praying it helps!
No good cosnteyx inj.
Because.
Already loading dose complete. But three is no response.
Still 80% psoriasis my while body
Tomorrow is my second dose
Im gonna do it alone this time
@@jesusismysavior2993 honestly no. It doesnt even hurt if you do it right. But now hospital switched new drug for me because cosentyx was to weak even in double dose
Did you ever have the needle get stuck in the cap?
Always got stuck in my leg
I am getting the worst side effects with hypertension.
Thats great. Hope it works for you
If at the end of the injection you see like a little bit of medicine on your skin, it means that you didn't do it right ?
Love the cosen, lemme get dat
Were do i buy these injectings please
It’s a prescription. Your dermatologist needs to write it for you and send it to your pharmacy. You need good insurance, too.
How did this work for you? I am starting it today after 14 years of battling psoriasis
Im starting today, how has it been for you so far. Bit scared i need to do 300mg per dosing though, double the injections 😩
I just did my first injection and there is a bump via injection site.....like the medication is just sitting there, is this normal?
No good cosnteyx
