Hi and welcome to the forum, you will be made very welcome and just have a look around as there is more information on here than any where else I know, the inmates will try to answer any questions truthfully from the point of experience not theory.
I have been on Stelara now for a few years and it's the only treatment that ever worked to any degree and like you I was on MTX for 9 years and it never worked that well. I have had P and PsA for many years and mine was that bad I have been in hospital three times for 6 weeks at a time and I must have had most treatments available but Stelara is fantastic. It looks like that you have results already ,when I had it I did not see any results until after my second injection at 4 weeks but by the time I was ready for my first 12 week injection I was well on the way to clearance.
The thing to bear in mind is that everyone is different and what works for one does not work for another and the side effects are the same, we are all different.
Welcome and I hope that you enjoy being on the site and you have just met the serious inmate on here , best of luck
Dave
