NICE finally approves Stelara for psoriatic arthritis

[jiml]

Hi, I am pleased at this, because i am currently on Enbrel and Mtx (both injected). I am not reacting well to the recent re-introduction of the Mtx, and think that I will have to come off it again soon.

I am not convinced that the Enbrel is working well, and understand that in most cases, even after a good start, benefits of Enbrel reduce after 1-2 years.

Now that Stelara is an option, it opens up the choice, and so may be the next logical step in my bio treatments.

Let's hope you get offered it Paul, it's something to mention to the rheumatologist at the next appointment. And hopefully you will get it,
Good luck
