Quick update.....

Apologies for the lack of updates lately, life has been quite busy with work, outings and a friends wedding. I wanted to update on my progress with my skin and my treatment as of late.

It wasn't too long ago I wrote about my experience with Stelara so far. Two weeks ago, I did my third Stelara injection. I did feel it this time, but didn't hesitate for too long because the sooner you do it (once prepared) the quicker it's over with. I had found my skin to be getting worse, but now I do see improvements going forward. There are still some stubborn patches near my ankle that aren't cooperating.

As for my joints, I find that I am not wearing the right shoes for my feet, therefore I do get a lot of pain in my knees and more recently my right ankle. I have also found my right elbow to be fairly painful also, especially when lifting etc. in work. I am due to see my rheum just over a weeks time, so I look forward to seeing what he makes of my progress.

I don't think the recent spate of bad weather has helped either. Do you find your skin/joints acting up when the weather worsens? Feel free to share your experiences in the comments below.

Until next time.....
