Ive been on Stelara for 3yrs. The only side affects ive had have been bad headaches and all bones ache for 2-3 days after the injection. I have been on tegison, soriatain, puva baths combined with uva/uvb light...tar treatments, amivive, not to mention topical creams. I have had psoriasis over 35 yrs and Stelara is the only thing that cleared me up absolutely.

I am in Queensland Australia and I am using Stelara at the moment and its great. I have used a different injection before and got good results with it but not like Stelara even in the heat that we have here it work. I even have to cut my finger nails now as they grow well. If you are thinking about a injection they are good. Good luck.

I started Stelara last December and I have had no side effects. I had an appointment 3 months later and by then it was all gone and has been gone. My scalp gets a little itchy when it is soon time for my next dose but I must say that I am happy so far! Though it didn't clear up the psoriasis under my toe nails but I can deal with that if it is gone everywheres else.

I have never tried Stelara, but what I'm taking that has cleared me to about 99% and keeps me that way is not for psoriasis but it works is Topomax. It is a anti seizure drug that I had prescribed to me about 10 years ago as an add on drug to an anti depressant. I noticed after about 4 months that my psoriasis had cleared right up. I went off the anti depressant a couple of months later but stayed on the Topomax and my skin stayed great. I then went off the Topomax a couple of months later and within about 2 months I flared all over my body. I spoke to my Dr and asked if the Topomax could be keeping my skin clear, he didn't know but said anything is possible, we decided I'd go back on a low dose and see what happened, well with in 2 months I was clear again! I've stayed on it ever since. I have small flares every couple of years, but they are very small compared to what I use to have. I use very little creams, 1 Dovobet & 1 Diprosalic will last me a couple of months.

I am on week 10 now and it is amazing! The cost is also unbelievable but I'm covered for now too.
