Full Moon Syndrome !

[D Foster]

Not updated this for a while, but the last few days have been awful. Probably the worst I have been for a few years with psoriatic arthritis, the psoriasis is fine and still almost completely clear but my right side from the neck down to my fingers is locked up and as painful as hell.

There was a full moon yesterday    

It's funny Fred but I have also had an increase in my PsA in the last few days mind you it's got very cold here and as I live 200 yards from the sea the humidity has increased , the cold gets into your bones. I have just injected my 90mg of Stelara and my P is clear apart from in and around my ears which got worse when I started the Stelara , I was about 80% covered when I first started the Stelara so I am more than happy with how I am at the moment. I had 9 years on MTX the last 3 years by injection but the side effects got too bad to continue and it never completely cleared the P anyway but it helped the PsA quite a bit. When I finished the MTX they wanted a 12 week period before I started the Stelara and in that time I was 80% covered again from about 15% .
