Stelara - Kat's journey

[Kat]

Looks like a great improvement Kat, my ears took the most time to get completely clear and even now I use Enstillar to keep them clear. Are you happy with the results in all other areas Kat if so I would tend to stick with the Stelara for the time being. I got some Cetreben which plus the Enstillar keeps it well under control.

My scalp area, particularly behind my ears and my ears have always been the worst for me. When I first started getting psoriasis, I had patches on my back, elbows, face and one tiny patch on my leg but those cleared up back when I did the Acitretin. I have had a small place on my back and a bit on my elbows since then but they were very minor and cleared up. So areas other than my ears and scalp seem to respond quickly to treatment it seems.

With November so close, I plan to just have my next Stelara injection and go from there. It gives me time to do research, think and talk to a couple of my other doctors to get their input. Particularly the Rheumatologist who is very up to date of course on psoriasis treatments and my primary more regarding what he thinks regarding stomach issues.

I do still have a topical which I'm going to start applying and see if it helps some. Originally the derm said I could use them together but my visit last month she told me I could stop with the topical and I didn't ask her last week (which was actually a follow up for something else, I just asked her if she thought the Stelara would eventually get me clear and she responded no and gave me other options)

Is the Enstillar the foam? I do think it would be easier to apply, or at least sounds like it would be!! I'm not sure what Cetreben is, I'll have to look that one up
