Hello Keesha and 
The bit about your mum thinking you hadn't washed behind your ears is a reminder that until you know what psoriasis is you think all sorts of things. Did she ever apologise for pulling your ear ?
If your blood tests are showing something high, they will sometimes pull you off of Stelara. I have to go for a liver scan every two years and although having a bit of fat around my liver I have never had a problem with stelara and my liver. My Eosinophils usually come back high on my blood test but it looks like it's the stelara that is giving the high reading.
I have been on Stelara for two years and I love it. It did start to tail off a bit after week 8 and I had come off it, but I'm going back on this week with a break of 8 weeks between shots.
I hope your levels come back down and you get your next shot, but you have to remember they are being cautious which is a good thing.
Keep us informed.
Fred.
