Thanks alan that sounds encouraging. I go for my second injection on 9/20. I had a flare up about a week ago but got a cold so I am pretty sure that aggrivated it. My skin is smoother again now I don't have near the scaling I did and the itching is better. Can't wait to see the results after second injection.

I got my second shot on September the 20th. Really did not seem to have any side effects this time did not feel tired like I did last time. I did have a couple of days of higher blood sugar readings than I normally have and my blood pressure medicine has had to be increased. I really have not noticed much improvement. It is still much better than before Stelara. The only lesions that have gone completely away are the newest places I had on my legs. My larger thicker plaques are still there but smoother and just light pink to fleshtone. I am not completely disapointed but would love to have more clearing even is just on my arms so I did not have to cover them so much. Still trying to stay positive!
