Hi I'm Heather....I've been dealing with psoriasis my whole life. Now to the arthritis part...whew a bit overwhelming. I make my own soaps and lotions that help my skin, and have recently started biologics and they terrify me😁

I started with psoriasis around 11 but wasn’t diagnosed with PsA until I was 31 (four years and 7 drugs later) and I hate it’s guts. Lol I have to laugh because I’m sitting here waiting to see my rheumatologist to discuss how my 4th biologic is going… spoiler alert: it’s not going well, crafty immune system figuring out how to work around them… however according to my blood work I’m doing much better than six months ago. But.. I’m at a constant 6 on the pain scale but up to a 8 easily by bed. It sucks because I can’t take NSAIDS and I hate pain killers beyond acetaminophen which I reserve until I can’t handle the pain. Does anyone have a Experience with Stelara?
