Spondylitis Association of America Forums General Discussion General Message Board for Ankylosing Spondylitis and Related Diseases Day 2 Cosentyx worsen arthritis. Is it possible?

I had the best pain free day 1 but day 2 has been living hell

Is it possible to have worsen of arthritis symptoms, feeling sick, new joint pain on day 2 of starting Cosentyx?

I failed enbrel and humira

How are you now?

I switched to Cosentyx and it took a little bit of time to kick in. But once it did, it has been the best one I have been on yet. It works better than Ebrel and ther others in my opinion. Give it a little time as sometimes these take a little bit of time to take effect.

I used to read everything and then found it made me more rather than less anxious. I found out that Cocentyx is an IL17 inhibitor…learned something new. The others worked for awhile, then stopped. It’s taken longer to get to a good point, but it seems to work. It’s amazing because I remember when they discovered these genes! I feel old, but thankful that people like us have options.

Sorry

It = Cocentyx
Others = anti-TNF’s
