Stelara round two

"Next: I'm finding that I'm experiencing the Tail Off effect again around week 8 - 10, "

Hi Fred , I am on week 9 and I am also finding that it's tailing off as I had a very small patch on my right elbow but for the first time it has got quite a bit bigger plus a very small patch started on my left knee. I am using Doverbet on it but I wonder if it may be a time to suggest coming down from 12 weeks ?

Hello Dave, I have played around with the dose over the years 45mg - 90 mg / 12 weeks down to 8 weeks but whatever I try, I still notice an up and down scale over the period.

My thinking is that although it's the best treatment I have ever had, my body has got immune to it. I read once that we can get immune to some drugs a bit like a rat gets immune to poison, unfortunately for me I think I have reached the end of the line and can no longer trick my body.

In your case I would say give it a try at week 10 and see how it goes, you can always switch back. I would also recommend anyone to stay on one treatment as long as they can as switching to soon could make things worse.
