Hi Joanie1964, Are you taking pred for your Psoriasis or something else? For me personally I had flares after taking pred but this is me and we all respond differently.

I have psoriatic arthritis too I’m on Cosentyx injections... what side effects are you having? Yes they should start to subside over the next couple of weeks

I take 2 injections per month as well. Have you injected around or near the time you started the pred? I have been on pred for years and never experienced any of what you described although we all react differently.

I’m thyroid-less and I can not take my injections anywhere near the time I take my thyroid meds, I swear it interacts with each other but, Rheumy will always say no.

It's strange I get one small knot like bump on my calf after I do injections. If I were you I would keep up or start having your thyroid levels tested these PSA injections seem to like the thyroid.
