Hi From Ireland - starting Stelara soon.

[D Foster]

Hi and welcome eeloe, you should do very well on Stelara as it's probably the best bio on the market . I have been on it for over 5 years and not only have I got my life back but my sanity as well.
I started to clear after the second injection at 4 weeks and by the time I reached the third injection at 12 weeks I was 98% clear ,no side effects to speak of it's a really good treatment , all the best and keep us up to touch with progress.

Thanks for the reply.

Really buzzing about starting it to be honest, can't wait! 

It seems that i'm getting new spots on my legs, chest and back on a daily basis, i can get dressed in the morning, and when i'm going to bed at night i can point out a new couple of spots to the wife almost daily.

Starting to get me down the last couple of months, but hopefully it'll only be another while and i'll be looking for spots, as they are vanishing, eh?

And you had absolutely NO side effects from Stelara at all?

I'm a bit anxious about starting it, i'm on my 3rd set of anti biotics this year right now, and the side effects from them are horrible, so if i'm sensitive to anitbiotics, i'm surely going to get some reaction to stelara?

[D Foster]

Everyone can have a different reaction the treatment and different side effects so what happens to one does not necessarily happen to someone else.
I have had no side effects to speak of and it works ok so it's quite possible that you hopefully will be the same .
