Before starting these monthly injections my arms and legs were 50% covered. Topicals and UV ceased to work. I've got about a year and a half to go in the study. Enjoying psoriasis free life while I can. I’ve been on Abt-874 test drug for a year and a half and my psoriasis at present consists of three spots 1/8″ each.

Believe me when I say that I'm willing to cut my life short than live with the pain, cracking and bleeding one day more. It's not a life, it's a living hell. I'm 80% covered with PA. Stelara is the last option for me, I just hope it works! Nothing has worked for me except total immunesuppression.

Other therapies have stopped working, and I'm looking fwd to Stelara to get my life back...
