Stelara diary

Week 2:
Lots of improvement in the first week but a bump in the road with new p coming up.
Was starting to clear on arms, torso, neck and chest. Scalp is clearing but I don't get much on my scalp. Half of me looks ok. The other half my dear legs isn't. Legs are always stubborn for me. They were looking like they were improving but coming towards week2 they have some what seem to be more itchy raised again and more irritable. Can't sleep because of them. They feel hot and warm. Not making me feel so great. Slapping on loads of moisturising cream to smooth it. Although not great the legs do not look as red as they were before my first injection. 

Skin feels like sandpaper at the moment how lovely... NOT

Still new spots creeping up on my cleared arms though and I'm keeping an eye on it.

Half way point till booster injection not sure if I can get through it if it doesn't continue to improve...

Hi Spotless,
I'm a new member. I'm fortunate inasmuch I don't have skin psoriasis nowadays, but after reading your opening post on this thread and not knowing your full history, have you ever had PUVA treatment? In my early days I had skin (P), my wife by coincidence was training  to be a nurse was doing her dermatology part, she bought me a ultraviolet/infrared lamp so I followed the instructions on use of the lamp to a "t" sat in a room (around 37 yrs ago). I had patchy dry (p) all over my body, it took around 3 months to clear but worked. I'd recommend anyone with skin(P) to invest in one of these lamps and use it cautiously as well as your treatment prescribed by your dermatologist specially when you have a flare up. Please be aware there is a risk of skin cancer using these lamps. There is always the alternative of using sun beds as you'll be aware of with associated risks, i mentioned the lamp as it 's less costs overall. 
Here's hoping your new treatment works and you don't need to buy what I've suggested.
