Stelara question

Hi everyone

I'm 47 and suffered with psoriasis since I've been 4 yrs old 🙁 and pretty much tried everything trying to have sort of normalcy in my life and I was humming along until the psoriasis on the outside of both my legs left me in tears more then once from excruciating pain I finally decided enough was enough and went to dermatologist and was started on stelara and that was a little over a year ago (not a cure) but way better then what I was.

My issue with Stelara has always been this weird sensation I get during the injection [I can feel it] running through my body particularly in the area of the injection (not injection site) I have it injected in my stomach and I can taste Yes taste the Stelara so today I decided to have it injected in my upper thigh and oh my dear Lord I never expected to feel the Stelara running down my leg landing on my knee and practically dropping me to the floor less then 2 mins after the injection and ive had a hard time walking around all day, little better now.

Has anyone experienced this with the Stelara injection or any thought to why my body does this ?

Thanks, batty1

No can’t say I’ve felt anything like that, and I’ve been on all the biologics on the market. Did your dr instruct you on how he wanted you to inject - subcutaneously or intramuscular?

Not what you're looking for?
