Yes Jim is right Stelara (ustekinumab) it's the best thing that ever happened to me, I've been on it over 5 years now and it gave me back my life.
If Ixekizumab can do as well as Stelara it will be a good treatment, but there is also a new kid on the block Cosentyx (secukinumab) which is doing well so it has it's work cut out.
