So 13 weeks in on Stelara and the magic week number 12 when they said will be the week they can tell whether Stelara is doing its job or not.
Had my first follow up at the Dermatologist this week and PASI score is a good 0.9!!! What an improvement things have been moving along well. Skins mostly clear besides a few spots but nothing to stress about. My arthritis is easing but still not 100% however Ive decided not to take any more drugs and power though the slight pain. I'm hoping it will improve.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you for everyone who read my journey during this last flare and all your support to help me keep positive and reassure me that things will improve. It was definitely a hard time for me and I wish no one needs to go through the pain of arthritic psoriasis. It is a terrible chronic disorder. For those who are living in countries where you can't get funding for treatment I feel sad and angry that there isn't enough support for people who really need it. I count myself blessed to be able to receive medical treatment here in the UK with little cost and live my life psoriasis free with the treatment that I need. I wish there is more we can do as a community to help each other.
I'm due my next injection in 3 weeks and I look forward to a stable treatment on Stelara that will continue to do it's job.
All the best my friends and I'll keep you updated as my treatment continues.
Finally Spotless.
