OK had my appointment today, and we have decided to come of Stelara. After speaking with my dermatologist we both agreed that it's just not working like it used to. It's been exactly two years since starting Stelara and I must say it's been fantastic!
It worked great for the psoriasis, and although not brilliant it also helped me cope with psoriatic arthritis. But like I have found in the past with any treatment there comes a time when it just stops working. My Psoriasis score has shot up lately and is now at 17. plaques have appeared on the front of the bottom half of my legs and they are getting worse by the day.
Over the period of two years I would score Stelara 10/10 for clearing my skin and 7/10 for helping with psoriatic arthritis. If you are thinking of trying it to get your skin clear I would highly recommend it as my skin has never been so good. But like everything else I've tried, it just doesn't remain effective.
So it's time to move on from Stelara. I will be making a new thread about where I'm going from here but it involves getting my Psoriasis Score even higher. (Yes I did say higher)
Started a new thread about what's next here: I need more Psoriasis
