Fumaderm to Methotrexate switch, advice?

[ccarr06]

Hopefully It will kick in soon ccar.
You know my hesitations with MTX, but as long as you can deal with it...

Remember, there is a new DMF medication in the form of Skilarence. This has no MEF, like Fumaderm has, and might do better. A thought to keep in your mind.

Thanks Caroline. Since I started the Iron and B12, the constant headache and fatigue are gone so I've no major side effects, only the odd mouth ulcer and maybe 2 headaches. So I don't mind being on MTX now, I'm only frustrated that my P has gotten worse since I started it.
I've another appointment in Dec, so I will keep Skilarence in mind for when I go back.

Currently on four 2.5 mg ( 10 mg) Methotrexate dose once per week since 13/09/2017 - currently no probs liver status ok ...PS has reduced back to same as with FUM .......see my consultant this Weds ( 8 Nov 2017 ) will raise Caroline's points with my Derm Consultant

I'm happy to hear it's working for you Vincent. I hope it continues to improve your P for you.

Hi CC I was on 25mg a week before I cleared when I was on methotrexate... I only gave it up because of the side effects. It worked for me
I hope you get some movement towards clearing the Psoriasis soon
Good luck, good to see no nasty side effects for you

Thanks - currently this is the best I've seen my PS.....I'm really hoping that things continue to progress positively and I'm at last able to have the confidance to go into a Public Swimming Pool 

So Positive Mind Set on my side  and some Compassion from those around me & on this site ? There is   just too much aggression & negativity in this world ....but hey ho one day there will be harmony & no PS

That is looking good Vincent !
Let’s hope that your clearance will continue and indeed you can go swimming

We keep on working on a better world.
I don’t have enough money to save it on the Caymens Islands, so that is a less bother for me...

Great news , I'm glad you are getting clear enough for you to feel up to swimming ....I remember the feeling of elation when I first got clear enough to feel comfortable taking my grandkids swimming in public. I hope you feel as good as I did .... great positivity coming from you.   long may the methotrexate work and keeps your life “normal”

Yes a positive mind goes a long way to helping, so keep it up.

Vincent, I don't do much on the "compassion" side of things that's more of a Jim thing    but I will wish you well on your journey and look forward to seeing you giving more positive updates on here in the future,

Hi Fred,

I don’t mind the thread as is, but if you think splitting might be better go on ahead. Whatever you think is best
