I just had my appeal today but I have a feeling they are going to want me to try humira first.. has this happen to anyone? If you've tried Humira and Cosentyx which was better?

Cosentyx was better. But I have stomach problems and it had bother my stomach. So I had to try Humira and I kept getting upper respiratory infection. My doctor had to contact my insurance to get Cosentyx approved. My boils went completely away.
