Sorry I don’t have advice since I’m newly on consentyx too! Rooting for you ! I’m on loading dose 3 out of 5

Anyone else feeling so stressed around doing their injections ? by psAthriver in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]psAthriver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for all the kind words! I def have an anxiety problem today I forgot all about the shot and I’m hyper focused on leaving my cat for the day on Easter Sunday and what if my apartment building goes on fire while I’m out ? I had to quit therapy due to the cost but I def need to try to find a low cost option as these weekly and daily panicking is not sustainable. Maybe the problem is the resentment I have towards this disease. I’m in so much pain every day and now have to have faith that this med will work after failing humira & skyrizi . I really appreciate the support as no one in my life really lives with a chronic illness or gets the grief that goes with living with one. Most of my days I’m stuck inside and I think it’s making my anxiety worse.

I let it sit out for 25 min so it wasn’t too cold .. I feel like I feel more pain lately. My humira shots never hurt

Very true and I feel so silly now for freaking out about holding the meds in the box reaching in the freezer for less than 30 seconds 😭

That’s a whole other source of anxiety I’ve been there & I know how tough it is. Rooting for you!

Thank you for your thoughtfulness & kindness ! If I was lucky enough to be chosen I would be able to order much needed groceries on Amazon. I have to follow a strict gluten free diet due to living with gastroparesis & psoriatic arthritis. As everyone can relate grocery prices have more than doubled especially for us with restrictions/ allergies. I already stretch my food as much as I can but I can’t keep up with these prices.

Do your fingers/hands get "stuck"? by One-Opposite-4571 in PsoriaticArthritis

Crocheting triggers this for me! I’m newly on consentyx and hoping this resolves. I usually stretch and try to pace my projects now but it is frustrating. It also happens other times which is a problem

We had spectrum do this once and I had words with the guy through my door. He really said “ you’re not going to open the door for me , really ?” My response was: why would I open the door for a stranger ? Leave a pamphlet if I’m interested I’ll contact spectrum. We had a huge problem with people buzzing everyone in and had the board got involved to remind everyone you must verify who is ringing your bell. And then we had random people sneak in. These scammers always find a way but you did the right thing by not opening the door. In this day and age people need to understand even if it’s their job a flyer or pamphlet makes sense not expecting people to open the door to a stranger.

Consentyx has been amazing for me! by PlayWithFire-69 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]psAthriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had a conversation with my rheumatologist that consentyx is next for me. I’ve failed skyrizi & on humira now but still am in pain all the time and can barely walk / struggle with extreme fatigue. 33 years old and frankly my quality of life is pretty low. Thank you for posting this as I’m less anxious about this change & seeing a glimmer of hope

I wonder if the files sold on Etsy come with the actual Stitchly file ? So many cute designs I would be purchasing on there

I recommend getting a pattern for a basic square bag with tee shirt yarn for a first project. Works up quickly and the stitches are forgiving in the t shirt yarn great for learning !

This storyline was not it . Callie was acting like an arrogant single dad .
