Hi Ashley and 
to the forum. Yes Stelara is available here but I'm thinking you might be lucky and get it straight off, although the dermatologists here do have to see you have failed on the cheaper treatments before they give biologicals, I'm not saying that will be what happens. But my thinking is that unless you can demonstrate that you have failed on oral systemic drugs like methotrexate and acetretin. They may make you jump through those hoops before you get it. But come back prepared with a good story of failure in America and you might just get it
And yes it does depend where you are the speed and quality of treatment you tend to get
So read on here of others experiences so you can get your story right when you get here
Others may well know better about the service you might get in the Brighton area
