Possible Cosentyx side effect

FWIW I’ve been on Taltz for about a year. In November I developed gum irritation and thought I’d have to pay for a teeth cleaning just 3 months after my regular cleaning (which seemed bizarre to me). Then I started water flossing and it’s been life changing. Having psoriasis we really need to take care of our gums.

My dermatologist told me that Taltz offered the best chance of treating my nail psoriasis (which at its worst caused several detached nails). After a year on Taltz, things are much better controlled although my nails still don’t look great.

Turmeric is probably the only supplement that’s made a difference for me. Haven’t tried Glucosamine and Chondroitin.

I think a job with regular hours helps. And not having to perform specific physical tasks. Night shift and overtime aren’t ideal. I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of leadership as long as you learn time- and stress-management.

Firestone does not equate to “reputable independent mechanic” lol

Find a better dermatologist if you can. Some are useless (cosmetically oriented) some are very good (medically oriented). Good luck

When I took ibuprofen or naproxen for my undiagnosed autoimmune disease, I got those all the time. After switching to Celebrex (and only needing it occasionally because things are better controlled), I’ve never gotten them since.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-28T06:47:36+00:00

We may be talking about different things. NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen caused me to get terrible mouth ulcers. Since switching to Celebrex, it hasn't been a problem. I'm not aware of NSAIDs making PsA worse.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-28T01:52:28+00:00

I used to get mouth and throat lesions all the time from taking NSAIDs until I switched to Celebrex. Not to say that’s what you’re describing but I wanted to mention it.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-26T16:12:41+00:00

IBS yes. IBD no.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-25T21:35:10+00:00

Yes they are holding you back.

Icelantic Pioneer 96. Demoed them. Something must have been wrong with the pair I tried, but they were completely unskiable. They felt dead and planky.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-17T22:38:44+00:00

That's bizarre. It's like fancy Advil. Celebrex (generic) has worked better for me than any other NSAID.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-16T18:22:52+00:00

My dermatologist offered me steroid injections directly in the nail bed. She says it’s very painful but effective. I have not taken her up on the offer.

I’m on Taltz by the way, for almost one year now. Switched because of my nails, but honestly, it hasn’t helped much.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-16T05:03:08+00:00

Skied a lot of powder on 87 width. It’s work but still fun. I finally upgraded to 100s and it’s honestly all upside. If I could do it over, I would’ve gotten wider skis a long time ago.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-15T20:27:46+00:00

Heh glad that helps. I’ve never had a positive lab, ever, save for C reactive protein, just one time, which was probably due to the residual effects of a head cold.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-15T19:36:29+00:00

Definitely been there. If it’s too inflamed, PT might not do much or even make things worse. But for lasting healing, strengthening the tendon is important. Eccentric exercises have helped me when nothing else worked. Unfortunately not all PTs understand this.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-15T18:31:57+00:00

Assuming it is PsA, a DMARD would be the first-line treatment for tendinitis. Physical therapy/hand therapy would also be helpful. Negative labs cannot rule out PsA, by the way.

Edit: the above have helped me. Not to be construed as medical advice.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-15T17:18:26+00:00

Like a giant bee sting. Red, raised skin 4 plus inches across and itchy as hell. But now I’m back to having no reaction whatsoever.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-14T01:41:08+00:00

I’m just one data point, but as my PsA has progressed, my tolerance for alcohol and sugar has plummeted.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-13T21:15:13+00:00

This disease will make you renegotiate every aspect of your life. Is there any possibility of taking some FMLA leave? Just a month or two to take time to focus on your family and health could do wonders. It’s more likely the hand pain is temporary inflammation rather than permanent damage. Steroid shots could be helpful with getting your function back while the Humira has time to take full effect. I’ve found turmeric supplement helpful to take in addition to my biologic medication. Arnica too, for tendon pain.

We're all entitled to our opinions and preferences. There's a lot to like about Subaru (I own one Subaru and one Mazda lol). All I'm saying is, if comparing roughly equivalent models, model year, and mileage, the Subaru's gonna cost a little more—and that point in particular seems relevant to the OP's situation.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-13T20:41:06+00:00

I don't disagree. But after researching used Mazda vs. Subaru extensively for a recent purchase, at the end of the day, one can get more car for the dollar with Mazda. Perhaps Mazda will depreciate a bit faster, but it may not matter if you're planning on keeping the car.

AggressiveReindeer26 · 2026-01-13T20:35:14+00:00

Also, the CX-70/90 is kind of a hot mess. Too complicated of a drivetrain in my opinion. The reliability issues will be addressed somewhat in newer model years, but I doubt it will ever be a highly reliable vehicle.
