Stelara diary

[Grizzly Bear]

You poor lady you Spotless.

My heart goes out to you.

Reading your post was nigh on the same thing for me.

I was on enbrel then humira but before going on to stelara, dermatology gave me imixflam.

Imixflam is done intravenously. It was bloody awful I kid you not.

I had two of these imixflam's but my body couldn't take anymore. The side effects were horrendous.

However, for the first time since 1990, I was psoriasis free. It was fantastic, no P anywhere except for my finger nails and toe nails, they were awful and took weeks to grow out.

Being P free lasted for 3 months but it came back with avengence.

I took photos of my skin, it was red raw, bleeding etc as I waited for stelara to be delivered.

That was March / April time last year.

Stelara is brilliant but I still have odds and sods over my body.



I hope that you get cleared soon Spotless

Hi GB Imixflam sounds awful and to go through all that have it only last for 3 months! That's a real bummer! I'm glad that the Stelara is working for you. I love reading good Stelara stories. It gives me hope. When you say odds and soda do you mean your not 100% clear on it?

Spotty, imixflam was brilliant but I couldn't take the side effects. Had I been OK with the side effects, I could have continued with imixflam and be totally P free. Alas, it wasn't to be.


Yes, I have just odds and sods of very small patches here and there but I'm happy because when I'm out and about, no one can see my psoriasis.

Now that you have 10 posts, you will be able to read my journal.

Big bear hugs for you Spotty
