Is anyone on Stelera and it hasn’t worked?

I recently took my second set of shots on Stelera on 3/26/10 and since this past weekend I’m in full blown psoriasis out break. I was on Raptiva and Enbrel for the psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis until they took Raptiva off the market.

Sterela was meant to replace these other drugs and be the new treatment. I’m so disappointed and have no clue what to do. I’ve tried every drug and creams on the market to treat this disease and nothing but those two drugs I was previous on worked. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? My Dermatologist is out of town and saw his PA this week and she had nothing to offer me but cream for the itching.

Question about arthritis?

I’m sixteen and my mom is convinced that drinking cherry juice helps reduce the sypmtoms of psoriatic arthritis and I don’t think it does because when I drank it everyday, once a day, for about two weeks it didn’t seem to help, only my pain killer medicine does. I hate cherry juice and she keeps making me drink it, but I tell her that I don’t think it helps. Does anyone know if it actually helps or not?

I have a few health problems that are chronic and very, very expensive. I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and I take Remicade and Methotrexate for it. If I didn’t, my body would be covered in red lesions (I’ve been covered up to 70% of my body) and I’d be walking with a cane, preparing to have hip replacement. I know I need this treatment. Remicade is EXTREMELY expensive. My doctor’s office used to let me make payments…but they’ve changed their policy and you have to pay upfront. I have insurance, but I have to pay a very large deductible. This, plus the daily meds I take for the condition, plus meds for high bp, depression, and GERD, cost a helluva lot of money.

I had bronchitis for three months starting in October of last year. Long story short, they discovered I have a slightly deviated septum and an old infection in my sinuses. I took meds, and now I’m supposed to have a second CT of the sinuses…and I know that they’re going to find that I’m no better. The next step could be surgery. I’m feeling EXTREMELY guilty about how much my problems literally cost my family. I quit smoking and started eating better…but it’s not helping any of my conditions get better. This sinus thing is not a life or death situation here, or a question of mobility like my arthritis is. I’m tempted to blow it off. Yes, I have a chronic sore throat. No, I really can’t sing anymore…but I’m not a professional, I just sing at church and civic theater. I get so worried when I think about how much all these medical things cost, and with the economy the way it is, I know we could go broke in no time. What would you do if you were me? How important is it to fix this?
