I Want to Stop Methotrexate

[Forest Walker]

I can't say I blame you FW I lasted a few months on MTX before I decided I'd rather have psoriasis than feel constantly nauseous, I got to dread Mondays (my day for taking mtx)
I was fortunate enough to have a professor in the Doctors traning school where I used to be a willing practice patient suggest that I ask my dermatologist about DMF treatment which I did and was able to get off methotrexate.
I would certainly do your research here on the available alternatives and like Fred and Caroline said biologicals are your best way forward, and Stelara  is well tolerated by most and with that you can enjoy a glass of wine to make life more enjoyable

You folks do understand.  That really helps.  I'm dreading Thursdays, my day to dose the MTX.  

You were lucky to have the DMF suggestion by the professor in the training school.  That made a huge difference for you.  

My scalp, torso, arms, and upper thighs had cleared.  But in the last two weeks, my scalp has had a little itching.  Two teeny, tiny patches have appeared on my face.  My ears, also, appear to have begun recurrence.  So maybe the MTX isn't as effective, now, as it was just over two months ago when I started using it.  Or, maybe the light therapy has worn off.

I think I would rather have the psoriasis than the nausea and headache.
