Hi Bill, I hope that Stellara works for you as it did me. I received 2 shots and everything was gone. Let me know how you are doing. I really didn't clear up totally until after the 2nd shot. Jane

I totally agree. My derm was very informative and told me the injection schedule before we even tried with the insurance company. Also the insurance company are the ones that set the payments, but your doctor should also have contacted the drug…

Hi Jane, I just wanted to let you know you have a fellow spirit here. I too was on the Enbrel for about a year. It worked great for me, but another infection caused me to stop and it came back in spades. When I got back on it after about three…

It is difficult to remember exactly which homeopathics were working because every person is different. If you have a homeopathic doc, then they should be able to test you to see what works for you. Jane

Hi, Ryan, I don't have a lot of information for you other than to just fight the insurance company. Sometimes the manufacturers will make it available at a lower price, too -you would need to contact them - but I think that's pretty rare.…

Ryan Lohmann replied to Jane Nastasi's discussion 'Psoriasis'
Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me how you went about getting this. My derm wrote me a percription for it and my insurance came back with a very high copay (4329) for a 29 day supply. My derm was unaware it had to be done in the office.…

Hi Leigh, I had my first shot of Stelara last Monday. Yesterday, I could see the psoriasis starting to disappear. The itching is minimal and I don't hurt anymore. I was on a lot of homeopatic elements when the psoriasis went away the last time.…

Hi Arlene, I had the first shot of Stelara last Monday. Yesterday, I actually could see the psoriasis starting to disappear. The itching is minimal and I don't hurt anymore. What are you taking for your psoriasis? Jane

Hi, Jane - I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Let us know how the Stelara goes for you. What you said about Humira is a bit worrying to me! Can you let me know what homeopathic things were working for you back in the day?…

I hope the Stelara works for you. I am having the same problem and am reaching the 90% point so I know exactly how you feel. I don't think that most people realize just how much the P can hurt.

Hi,I have psoriasis over 90% of my body. I am getting my first shot of Stelara tomorrow 1/4/10. I have tried Enbrel and it only worked for about 3 weeks. I tried Humeria(sp)? and after the 2nd shot went totally blind for about 1 minute twice during a given week. My doctor called the company and they told him that I was a 1/2 a person in 100,000 that that could happen to and my Dr. wanted me to take the third shot, but I refused. I was fortunate to be at home when I went blind both times. I…See More
