My older brother, who has psoriatric arthritis also, has found much relief from Cosentyx.
I didn’t treat my spondylitis for about eight years; one, I had a scare with CMV and hospital stay; and two, my Rheumatologist retired and finding a new one that would accept his diagnosis was nil. Now I am paying for it with full spinal damage. Even though the methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine have my inflammatory numbers completely down I hurt from the damage done those years. I hope you can find something that will work for you and slow the progression.
What specifically do you take? I REFUSE to take biologics because of the potential toxic side effects.
If possible, stay the course not using biologics to treat your psoriatic arthritis.
