Has anyone had success with Stelara for psoriasis? Any side effects?

#psoriasis #Stelara #sideeffects

I've been dealing with psoriasis for years, and my doctor recently recommended Stelara. I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects, especially the more serious ones like infections or allergic reactions. Has anyone here had experience with Stelara for psoriasis? Were the side effects manageable, and did you see significant improvements? Any tips or personal stories would be really helpful!

I was on Stelara for a while and experienced some severe dizziness. It was really scary, but thankfully it went away when I stopped taking it.

I've heard good things about Stelara, but the side effects list is scary. I'm not sure I want to risk it. Have any of you had mild or no side effects? Or do most people experience some of the serious ones? How soon after starting does this happen?

I've been on Stelara for about a year now, and it's been a game-changer for my psoriasis. The injection sites can get a bit irritated, but nothing too bad. I've had no serious side effects so far, and my skin has never looked better!

I've been on Stelara for a few months and haven't had any serious side effects. My psoriasis is much better, and I'm really happy with the results.

Stelara can be a lifesaver for some, but it's definitely not for everyone. I'd recommend talking to your doctor about all the potential risks and benefits. It's important to weigh them carefully.

Stelara worked wonders for my psoriatic arthritis. The joint pain is almost gone, and my skin has improved a lot too. Just make sure to get regular blood tests as your doctor may recommend.

I really hope Stelara helps for you. I switched to another biologic. Parents who have young children, be aware that some biologics may be contraindicated with live vaccines.

I had a bad reaction to Stelara. I developed a severe infection within a few weeks of starting it. I ended up in the hospital, so I would be very cautious.

I started Stelara a few months ago. Initially, I felt really tired and had some minor stomach issues, but those went away after a couple of weeks. My psoriasis is much better now. I keep an eye out for any signs of infection or allergic reactions and haven't had any of those issues. Best of luck!

I've heard Stelara can be really effective, but the side effects can be a big issue. I'm not sure I want to risk it.
