Enbrel worked well for a while and then I guess I developed an immunity but it started to reappear. I have been on Stelara since December/January (Loading doses) and then just had my next injection this past week. At approximately 1 month (just prior to the 2nd loading dose), I was about 85% clear and approximately a month to six weeks later, I was clear. For the first time in a very, very long time I can go swimming and not be the least bit self-conscious. The cost is prohibitive but praise the Lord that my health insurance covers it for the most part.

I have been on sterlara for 2 years now. I have never used a medication that has provided me with 99% clearance. The only trouble is fatique, high liver enzymes count, and a vitamin d deficiency. My dermatologist says it isn't related but I am not taking any other medications and she deems untrustworthy. In the process of finding a new dermatologist.

Since my partner has been using Stelara (about 3 years now) his psoriasis has cleared dramatically. However I have experienced severe mood swings in him, very irrational, paranoid and depressed during the week - 10 days after injection. And a constant fatigue. IS this the experience of other Stelara users? If so, any advice on managing these side effects?
