2nd injection today. Much like the first a little sting but definitely didn't hurt. Nothing major to report.
As to progress.... Well, I'm better than where I started from, but overall not a huge improvement from where I was at when I started Stelara. I seem to be on a cycle, first of the week it's itchy and scaly but by the end of the week it's drier and itchy in a "pulling the skin and the scales break off into little hard bits" type of thing and I have to really use something at that point. Last weekend it was coconut oil (which helped) but the weekend before that it was Taclonex (which still does help the best but I really want to use it as little as possible, actually not at all if I can, while I wait for Stelara to do it's thing)
I do feel a "little" improvement I think. Nothing I can really point to as it changes from hmm a bit better to hmmm a bit worse right now. It's still soon though so I'm hoping to really start noticing some improvement I can say is definite in the next month or two. Third injection is in May.
