Hi Spotless. welcome to the forum and to the friendly site with people who know what it is to have the damn thing.
I am on Stelara and have been for around 5 years now , we are all different and each drug works differently for each individual as are the side effects . It works fantastic for me and has been a life saver , with me the clear up of the P started just after the second injection at 4 weeks then it cleared really quickly and apart from a few patches in my ears I have been clear up until recently and I have a few patches now but I am under a lot of stress at the moment . I must admit that the MTX was better for my PsA than the Stelara but I just manage with Tramadol now ,used Naproxen but it caused me stomach ulcers so I had to stop it. I also use Enstilar which is quite good .
I self inject my Stelara which is much better as you are not waiting for a third party to decide when they can get around to do it for you.
Best of luck and I hope that it works well for you.
