Hi All
A big sorry for my disappearance again!
Doing more hours at work and more taxi driving for my kids.
Well it's Week 62 on Stelara and still really happy with it. Not clearing as well as first did, elbows now always keep a bit of P on them, as well as hip and tiny bit in ear. But still very impressed. Especially as no notable side effects which is fantastic after the effects of other meds.
My Derm is happy to see some psoriasis as she says it's better to know they are not over treating.
Staining on legs, still persists, which my sharp tounged dermatologist says is (can't remember the correct medical term) tartan effect!! ( how rude, it's staining, I'm sure of it, nothing to do with my age, ha ha.)
Had an appointment sent through, out the blue for an appointment for a UVB check-up. All went well, full skin check for any new moles, changes etc. Had a lot of UVB from the notes they have, not counting two other hospitals I attended about 30 years ago. So good to know they are keeping an eye on things. The only thing I can say about over doing the UVB, is that the skin on my face has a lot of pigmentation, My Derm says she can not prescribe anything but wrote down a couple of creams, which probably can not be prescribed and may get one from America! Still to engage my bum and look into it .
I got a lot of help from here when I was totally pi**ed off with my P, and sorry I've been awol so long, I hope to get time and join in, even if it is with GB's sewing at the weekend. I believe crochet is making a big come back so maybe have a go at that.
I'll go now and have a wee read about and catch up.
Hope your all well.
Angie
