If you put that into the search box and filter for NRAS then all the posts about it will come up 😊

Its my understanding that it is used more for Ankylosing Spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis than RA

A friend of mine uses this for AS and she's been on it for a few years now and its changed her life.

She does say the day she injects she gets loose bowels (apologies tmi ) but that just might be her 😅

I have recently started using this. My options are limited as I also have melanoma do many drugs are not allowed. So far, 2 months in, I think my symptoms are gradually less. Several joints still experiencing inflammation but I don't think as severe as before. They wait 16 weeks before assessing. No side effects causing any issues. 🤞🤞🤞

Hi.. I had Cosentyx for 3 years.. for my psoriasis arthritis because my pso flared up so bad. (Was on Humira first)Cosentyx was fantastic! No side effekts and my pso cleared in less than a month. My arthritis pain also lessened. So all fine 👍🏼

Unfortunatly it only lasted for 3 years, then the effect wore of. And I had to shift to Brodalumab. (Called Kyntheum here in Denmark were I live)

Hope it will work well for you 💕

Thx. I think it’s helpful knowing that it’s normal for the meds to help then require modification. I’ll take three years of help with pain. Terrible hurting but I’m not alone. 😊
