amen. I've tried 3 tnf inhibitors that have not worked (and had negative side effects). Cosentyx (il 17a inhibitor) kinda scares me. I always like to keep my hopes that some better autoimmune treatments could come soon
- throw241005 2y agoOut of curiosity I'm curious why it scares you? For context, I had been on Taltz before for psoriasis, and it worked very well. It seems like il17 inhibitors specifically are extremely targeted in what they affect. In comparison, I was also on otezla at one point (tnf-a inhibitor) and it didnt work for me either, and the side effects were terrible.
- wpasc 2y agoIt's the few instances of new onset IBD and generally the GI side effects. I'm lucky enough to have a pretty solid GI system that I don't want to risk messing with. I get very anxious with medicine, and my ankylosing spondylitis is sufficiently slow moving on MRI and tolerable enough that I prefer not to use the medicines. I had too many strange side effects whilst on Humira/Remicade such that it scares the crap out of me.
- throw241005 2y agoUnderstandable. I'll just say that for a sample size of n=1 I've seen no GI side effects with il17 blockers. Which was not the case with otezla. But tnfa blockers - yeah those are bad times. In any case, good luck with your treatment!
- wpasc 2y agothank you and thanks for your n=1, wish you the best with your treatment as well
- notheyarent 2y agoYou had a skin fungal infection dumbass not some unknown mystery condition psoriasis they came up with
