ArteMie's journey with Stelera

[Fred]

hi,

Had another shot this morning, so no irregularities in the bloodwork.
Felt tired this afternoon, now its ok.


Coming down of the flue, getting better, still a bit tired. Flue number 2 this winter! Had one in October too. I wonder if it's related to the Stelera, making me more susceptible to flue?

Also during the flue and the onset of it I noticed the lesions getting thicker. Slightly, there is still lots of improvement.

Personally I think its because of the flue, which is stressful for the body.
Anyone else experienced this or thoughts?

I used to get some flu like feelings when I first started Stelara and usually around the time of the shot, but as my body got used to it they became less and less till I never noticed anything.

I used to and still do hold off on the shot if I have a bad cold or flu, but with Stelara that is difficult as it's 12 weeks between shots.

There has been a lot of bad flu around lately, so you could just be unlucky. But it's worth keeping a not to see if it happens near your shot or not for future reference.

Get well soon.
