Picture
The effects of Stelara worked within the first few months. My skin cleared up everywhere first followed by my head. It was simply life changing. I had the injection issued by a nurse every 12 weeks in to the stomach. I did notice more side effects towards the 4 year period. Every 10 weeks it started to wear off and patches reappear. My head came back after about 2 years but not to the state it was before. It was still extremely manageable with only a few patches in places. My bald patches from years of picking grew back nicely! I felt my joints ache an awful lot as time passed, and I really craved the injection to make myself feel better again. It was definitely on the borderline of an addition. Once I had the drug I felt fantastic again, no aches or pains and I felt really energetic. This drug was by far the most successful I have taken and if it was not for trying for a family I would 100% still be on it. In fact I am counting down the days until I get to take it again!! 

What Wikipedia says
