Stelara round two

[Caroline]

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.

That is also what my good old doc said. He said, whatever medication you take, your body will always see this as an intruder and it will do it's best to fight it and find a way to neutralise it. This may be the cause that treatments at a certain point stop their working.

What a shame our bodies are not able to fight the psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis in the same way.

I suppose in some ways it does, but it gets carried away. That's why I made this thread a few years ago T Cells the soldiers in your body

Very nice view of what is indeed happening. Surely our immune system gets carried away. The trick is I think the doctors should look for, is how to repair this problem. Up to now we did not come further than fighting the symptoms or suppressing the immune system.
