Questions about starting Stelara

[Fred]

Thanks for the reply I am over 100k so that's probably why I'm on the 90 dose. I know there are bad things to all meds but I guess I just had to hear it from someone else already on it I even talked to the pharmacist where I work and her told me to think about the positive not the negative and he had not read anything bad about it so this really helps I'm glad I found this place to be able to speak out about it thx

OK that will be why they gave you 90, but I would still be tempted to start on 45 then 45 at week 4. Not because it will be a big problem, but I tried 90 when I went over 100Kg and it made me feel like a zombie for a couple of weeks. And as you're new to it, it may make you feel a bit like that and could put you off.

We're glad you found us too, we like meeting others and sharing.

The good thing about trying Stelara is if you feel it's not for you then you can just stop using it and try something else, I've been through all the Bio's and this the longest I've been on one (over 4 years) The worst problem I've ever had was a reaction to Humira, but it was soon sorted after a week in hospital taking it easy with nice baths and creams.

So I would say give it a go, I'm sure you will be fine.
