I was on MTX for nine years and had many side effects and only 80% clearance at it's best,I have had many other lotions and potions over the many years I have had P and PsA but do not know a lot about Otezla however I am now on Stelara and it has been fantastic.
I can really recommend Stelara as in my case ,after so many other treatments, it is the only one that has worked and I have 99% clearance with very little in the way of side effects.It is not very good for PsA but it does help a little but if your P is very bad then out of all the treatments available it is one that is well worth a serious consideration as it has been used for some time now and the side effects are well known .
Thank you for your advice I completely appreciate it! I'm going to ask my Dr if I could try Stelara as I have nothing to lose. I was sort of interested in trying Otezla, but due to the fact hat I live in Canada our government has not yet approved it to be used. I like the fact that there is basically next to no side effects and no need for blood work.
Thank you again :-)
