But can't remember exactly what it meant. If you had a choice between stelera and humira, either from experience or knowledge, which would it be?
I'm not sure which of my posts you are on about, all I can think of is what Jim said.
Stelara is one shot every three months whereas Humira is on shot every two weeks, it could be what you are thinking about. Or it could be something like Stelara is an easy self injection, but Remicade has to be done in hospital as it goes in the vein.
My personal experience is that I like Stelara the best, but the main reason being it worked the best for me. Enbrel was the overall best for psoriatic arthritis but it was one shot twice a week and it gave up working, but it comes down to what works best for you. If Remicade was still giving me the best results I would be happy to go onto hospital every six months, sorry I can't be of any more help but if you can find the post it may bring ring a bell for me.
If you're going down the Bio road, I would just go with the flow and see what they prescribe first for you to try rather than go with a preference. The reason I say that is because what works for one may not work for another, and you can easily switch to another should one not be suitable.
