At my worst, psoriasis covered around eighty percent of my body. This was not a cosmetic issue. It affected sleep, clothing, movement, and every part of daily life. It felt like my whole body was on fire.
Most of the treatments I tried before did not work for me. Steroid creams caused skin thinning and bleeding. Other medications made promises but did not change the overall picture. I was still covered and exhausted.
Everything changed when I was able to start Cosentyx. This only became possible because someone stepped in and helped me financially. Without that support, the cost of the treatment would have been completely out of reach for me.
Over several months on Cosentyx, my skin improved from about eighty percent coverage to around one or two percent. That difference is not just numbers. It is the difference between constant suffering and having a life again. I can live with one or two percent. I could not live with eighty percent.
I still continue to look for holistic ways to keep my body in balance and to reduce the need for strong medication in the long term. But I also want to be honest: in my case, Cosentyx was the only treatment that truly worked when everything else had failed, and I would not have reached this point of relief without the financial help I received.
This is my lived experience. It may not be the same for everyone, but I share it so that others can make informed decisions and feel less alone if they are facing similar choices.
