Methotrexate side effects advice

[Janice Y]

Hello everyone, I’m new at this so I might get it wrong so bear with me. I’ve been reading about the Methotrexate, I was given the leaflet yesterday by the derm, I hadn’t seen her before but I originally went to say I would start the Fumaric acid Easter’s, I think that’s spelt right . I came home and researched Methotrexate and I didn’t like the side effects it gave ie, stay out of sun, very little alcohol and also hair thinning or loss!, my hair isn’t very thick any way so I don’t want that added embassesment. Can anybody throw any more light on this please?.
