Hello Tracey and 
Stelara is usually 12 weeks between shots, so be prepared for them to say they won't give you shorter time between until you have been on it a while. They are more willing to give a bigger dose for over 100kg. I recently tried it but have gone back to one shot at 45 mg over 10 weeks as I felt it was making me feel to tired. I personally think 8 weeks between shots of 45mg would be the best as like you say it does drop off. My dermatologist has said we can look at 8 weeks after trying 10 weeks for a couple of tries.
You haven't bored me with your post, it helps to share.
