How Do You Know If Your Biologic Medicine Is Working??

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Jerome, ID

I’ve tried 3 biologic treatments and as far as I can tell only one made me feel better but my insurance won’t cover it (of course). I tried Humira and was still in severe pain. Doc switched me to Cosentryx. I’ve been taking it once a week for 3 weeks. My knees are so mad but my back isn’t as mad. My fingers crap up every once in awhile but idk if this means it’s working. Should I feel relief by now??? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi CrystalP - I noticed the inflammation is less through my body in only 2 months of the Remicade infusion . Encouraging!!
I hope you have good success. Blessings💕

I'm supposed to start cosentyx next month. I read that it could take 16 weeks to realize benefits from it.
My pain is, at times, terrible. 16 wks B4 some relief - IDK if I'll last that long.
