I just did my first at home injection today. So far so good. Has anyone had any side effects or issues after the injection? So far I have responded well with stelara, my 5 month flare stopped after about a week after the initial infusion. Thanks covid vaccine!!! Any helpful tips or experiences I appreciate. Thanks 🙏🏻

I take Stelara every 4 weeks. No side effects.

That's great it's working for you. The only side effect I got was a harmless skin rash that was treatable with anti-fungal medication and cream. It didn't help my UC.

Quick update. All is good. I did get really tired about 6 hours after injection but just slept it off. Feeling good and I lost my appetite for the last couples of days.

Sounds like a good update. I found Stelara at the proper dosing worked within a day or so for me.
