That's a good point. As you know Stelara is 45mg but goes up to 90mg at 100kg, when I started playing with the dose myself and the dermatologist thought it would be good if we could try something in between the two. But I ended up on 90mg and I weigh 92kg, so one could argue that I'm getting too much or maybe that is why it's no longer working as well as it used to.
