Stelara round two

[Fred]

Fred, glad to hear you are at least a bit better.  I hope the Stelara kicks in and gets you back to feeling lots better.  As for the anti inflammatories.... I know you aren't keen on them, but hope you take them instead of suffering if it comes down to it.

We all are restricted to our options available through our health care / insurance / money.  It's interesting how different countries are so varied when it comes to medications.

Thank you Kat, watch out I'm getting my positive attitude back as that's still the best treatment overall.  

Yes it is interesting on how different countries work, and I think we could all find fault with others and our own. But I'm very happy with the French health care and can't thank them enough, they even gave my Dad another 4 years of life when we bought him over here to live with us after the UK told him he had around 6 months left.

If the health care was rubbish I would go back to the UK, but it's better than the UK in my opinion. OK they have Fumaderm and we don't but one drug doesn't make the difference for all, we also have to remember that all treatments can fail at any time and at least there is more on the horizon for people with psoriasis.

Yes I may wait an extra 3 years before it's available, but the positive from that is I can see how it's working for others before trying.

I'm happy to stay on Stelara as it's been very good to me, all I need to do is get over this bought of psoriatic arthritis and things will be good.

And I will get over it now, as I know what my options are.

Oh and the French Sunshine, Cheese and Wine is better than in the UK so that must compensate for the lack of one little pill that may not even work for me.
