For Psoriatic Arthritis "I have been on Cosentyx now for 2 months. Still no change in my psoriatic arthritis. I’ve begun to get weird issues like cramping in my legs, excessive joint pain, and this morning I had a vertigo attack! Wondering if anyone has experienced any of these side effects."

For Psoriatic Arthritis "I have had vertigo symptoms, extreme joint pain, fatigue, as a result of all medications that supposedly treat psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. So far, every medication I’ve tried has made me much worse. Humira attacked my heart and almost killed me. The steroids caused panic attacks, shortness of breath, and high blood pressure. That’s just to name a few! I think these medications are poison to anyone’s system. I have decided to avoid medications altogether. I still have pain, but at least I don’t have ten to twenty other awful side effects to go with it. Not to mention, none of the medications ever helped with my pain anyway. If anything, they only made my pain worse."

For Plaque Psoriasis "I have had psoriasis since I was about six months old, having to lay on a towel from being unable to wear diapers, breaking out in horrible burning rashes from almost anything scented. Years of being subjected to laser therapies, tar shampoos and soaps, oatmeal baths (oatmeal EVERYTHING...don't even get me started on Aveeno), all it does is smell good. I have tried vitamins, light therapy, other shots, medications, and nothing would get rid of the growing scaly red flaky patches on my scalp, forehead, ears, and elbows. Side effects I had itching for a few days, bruising from site injections, dizzy for about 30 minutes after the dose, but otherwise no complaints. This is a specialty drug. It has to be refrigerated, and you have to take two shots once a month, self-inject or have a family member do it, but they are sensory pens so not too hard or complicated."

For Ankylosing Spondylitis "Upper respiratory problems - runny nose, thick head, drooling, dry mouth, phlegm. Passing wind frequently. Feel drained, fatigued all the time. Off balance. Cosentyx has worked but hate side effects. Have had lots of stress though. Husband died weeks ago and was ill with cancer for 5 years, but this was the case before his death. Easy to use. 300 mg injections once monthly."

For Psoriatic Arthritis "Started with a runny and dry cough. About 12 hours later, my legs hurt, a little later, my back hurt so bad I didn't feel like I could stand up or walk, and I felt really dizzy, followed by chest tightness that made me think I was having a heart attack."
