Glenda's journey with prescribed treatments

[Fred]

Fred, the two shots per week is the loading dose for plaque psoriasis. There is not any evidence that two shots per week benifits PsA. Sadly, most people do not see much more than 20% reduction with tnfs.

Mmmmmmmm well I was on two shots per week for about 1 year before it stopped working on me for psoriasis and I also know of others that have also been on 2 shots per week. Fred goes off to investigate.  

OK It looks like there is a 25mg and a 50 mg. I must have been on the 25mg as were the others I had spoken to. I don't know if that is a difference because of location, weight, or because it was a long time ago. But it looks like the going dose is 50mg per week.

I will say that Enbrel worked better for me with psoriatic arthritis than Stelara has, so it just goes to show that we don't all conform to the evidence. I also said a long time ago that Stelara can help psoriatic arthritis, yet it took the professionals a long time to realise it.

Thank you Matari. Glenda I would see if you are on 25mg or 50mg before taking my advise in my last post.
