Just a small update; I have both good news and bad news. First the good news. My Psoriasis score is now less than 5!! My legs and back still have light pink parches, but the itch is gone. However, I still have inverse psoriasis where the sun don't shine.
Now for the bad news. I still have feet/hand/hip pane. He said that Stelara only helps approximately 20% of this patients with PsA. He said since my psoriasis is in good shape is going to subscribe Plaquenil for PsA. He told me if in 4 months if my joints are not better is going to refer me to his Rhumey and more than likely pull the plug on Stelara.
Hopefully my PsA is better in December, I don't know I will do for my skin
He said he can order a MRI for my hand, but it's more than likely a waste of time and money because it doesn't always show unless there is significant damage and inflammation. Not sure if I want to tell him if does still hurt in December.
