Hi,
I'm affected mostly by Psoriasis, but I feel the onset of the arthritis coming on. My doc suggested Methotrexate 2 yrs ago. After some research I decided it sounded too scary. About a month ago I went back and knowing how much the Psoriasis had progressed, knowing I would take him up this time. It's the 4th Friday and tonight I am stopping Methotrexate. I was seeking info as too whether there would repercussions and if so what can I expect? how long should I continue the folic acid?
Results after 3 wks are encouraging. I know this must do wonders for many folks. However, I am finding the side effects too much. It's not only the 24 to 36 hour hangover as we call it, but my eyes tear for 72 hours, and I feel depression is slinging back. It would appear this treatment is not for me. I will be reaching out to my dermatologist for other solutions.
I look forward to reading about others' experiences and solutions. How others have coped and what avenues have served them best, as I know we (here) all deal with it.
Regards
