Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with AS after suffering with RA for 17 years. Would say I am chronic at the moment with back, hips and right heel.  so tired I just want to lie down and sleep but I know that's probably the worst thing I could do!! Due to start Cosentyx next week but concerned about side effects. Read on here that someone had to have their bowel removed after difficulties and they said they were sure the drug caused this, although medical professionals won't accept that. 

My initial concern is lung problems as on Methotrexate I contracted  Pneumonia. Scared in case I get it again.

I'm in Jersey and this drug has only just been offered but I understand there are patients in the U.K. That have been on this for sometime. Would really appreciate some Consentyx feedback.

Many thanks
