Stelara advice wanted

[Caroline]

Thank you for your advice. What is a DMF approach?

Fred- How long have you been on Stelara? I am not sure yet if my insurance will cover it still waiting to hear from them. I am worried because I am only 20 and not sure how long one can be on Stelara and if the side effects increase as the length of usage. I had read that with some people it flares up worse being on the shot. Then there is that one video on youtube that shows a young man who is now disabled from the shot... UGh! I have to stop reading the negatives and read the positives!
Has anyone tried a natural approach?

Hello Katie,

My apologies for my reaction on your name yesterday.. , I always hide myself behind the fact that I am Dutch, so I sometimes can be quite direct in my expression. Don't blame me for that. And of course choose any name you want.

DMF, dimethylfumarate is a substance that appears to have a very good effect on psoriasis. It has a 70% success rate. With the advantage that it is non poisonous and low risk.
On the workings there is a lot described in this thread Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis.
There are several people on the forum that use it with success and some are starting the treatment.
