Stelara round two

[Fred]

Yes Fred I am on 90mg Stelara and apart from a bit of fatigue I have really had no problems.
When I was on MTX I took the pills for 6 years at a weekly 25mg dose but I had lots of side effects such stomach cramps , headaches, sickness,galloping whatsits in fact I was in the loo that often I could make 100 words out of Armitage Shanks. When I went on to 20mg self injections most of the side effects went away apart from the headaches however over the next three years most of them came slowly back and I did not get any better than 80% clearage though it was OK for the PsA.
Where I live is great in the summer but in the winter the humidity is usually quite high and with the cold it is not a good combination ,we had sea fog this morning and it's only 1 degree C with a wind . I don't know if you do it in France but I do my own injection of the Stelara ,I am very lucky as in my area the derm dept is done at a private BUPA hospital by consultants who are also private, it's so different to the NHS.

Thank you Dave.

Were not near the sea but it has been very damp here this last few weeks, and we can get a lot of fog in the morning as it comes up from the valley and it does seem to make it worse.

Yes I do my own injections, and my dermatology is at one of the top training hospitals so I do get excellent service. Even the nurse comes to my house to do the blood test and I get the results the next day, so no faults there.  

I'm wondering if the last time I tried 90mg the zombie like feeling may have been down to something else, but I've been on it almost 5 years now so we will see at the weekend.
