    In May it will be a year since my first treatment. After the loading doses and at least the first 12 week treatment, my psoriasis quit bleeding, that was a huge improvement.

    After my last post on 8/19, my psoriasis is worse now than it's ever been. I've been taking 90mg of Stelara every 12 weeks and for a while it seemed a lot better. In the last few weeks, however, it is now by far the WORST flare I've ever had. I just don't know what to do!!!
