   <p>Hi <inline-mention username="CommunityMember982" user-id="6122422"/> - First of all, thank you for sharing your story with us, and I am sorry for all you have been through. <br/><br/><br/>My treatment has helped me so much, I am on Cosentyx injections every two weeks for the past nearly two years and it has honestly given me my life back. I went from being basically bedbound where I couldn&#39;t walk properly, the pain and stiffness were debilitating and oh don&#39;t get me started on the fatigue. Fast forward two years and I have finished college and now work full time and I have my life back! I still live with a bit of pain but I am even able to exercise now, which helps in the long run with my pain and stiffness. <br/><br/><br/>Everyone&#39;s story is different, this was the 2nd biologic I tried as the first one didn&#39;t work. Don&#39;t be disheartened if you don&#39;t feel relief straight away, it takes a bit of time for the treatment to work and may find some time to find the one that suits you! <br/><br/><br/>How have the infusions been going? <br/><br/><br/>I hope well!<br/>Ali (Team Member) </p>
