Hello time for an update.
I have been to see my dermatologist today, and after a long discussion we have decided to go back on to one injection of 45mg. I explained that the 90mg made me feel very tired and a bit like a Zombie, and made no improvement on the odd few patches of psoriasis or the psoriatic arthritis than the one injection.
She did mention Methotrexate again, and maybe I should try a small dose.
but I told her I refuse point blank to ever touch Methotrexate again, and that it wouldn't work because of my negative attitude towards it. she agreed
So I have gone back to 1 injection of 45mg but for 10 weeks again to see how it goes, after that I may try 8 weeks. she also mentioned the professor at the hospital could be looking for people to try a new JAK inhibitor. more on that here: JAK (Janus Kinase) Inhibitors
Will keep this thread updated, hope it helps someone. and like I have said before if anyone wants to know more about my use of Stelara for almost 2 years now, don't hesitate to ask.
