Stelara and migraines

[Kat]

Had an appointment Thursday with the dermatologist and weighing everything up we jointly decided that for the time being I would be stopping on the Stelara providing everything stays as it is now.
All the blood/kidney/liver tests were OK so no problems with that side of it and apart from a few minor things it's working well though it would be nice if it worked better on the PsA however I can cope with that by taking the pain killers.

Where does that leave you now Dave if you come off stelara ? Did you discuss the next step

Well Jim we have decided  that if everything continues as it is I will stay on the Stelara but should it change then it's on to Fred's favourite.
I am losing a bit of ground on the Stelara with a few minor areas like knees and elbows with the annoying ears area which have never been 100% but all are manageable with the Enstilar. The thing is, apart from a bit of fatigue for a few days when I injected I have little trouble with it however we will just have to see . The PsA is not to bad with the Stelara either and I can control it with pain killers , when they messed up the dose and I was 15 weeks instead of 10 weeks I was surprised how much difference the Stelara made when I started again.

So was that suppose to say you'll be staying on Stelara?

What did your doctor say about the migraines?  

It's difficult I think to know when to switch if a drug is working (even if it's not working as well as we'd like) as there is no guarantee that the next one will be better.  It's a bit of hit and miss.
