Thanks so much guys, you have really helped ease my mind a little.
I supposed I should have been more clear what I meant by being wary of side effects! Just to explain a little bit more, before I was on this forum, I was under the impression that both had equal possible damaging consequences on the liver and on pregnancies? I was told that on both I wouldn't be able to have children until a year after coming of the medication if I go down that route in the future (as I'm only 27 and don't have have kids yet, which is why they want me to take my time about deciding to go down the path of oral treatment) I was also told alcohol was a no no for both, so the way she explained it, both were bad and had the same side effects, but fumaderm also causes stomach issues and hot flushes. I can see that that it's not the case. I definitely think I'll go for fumaderm. Methotrexate sounds terrible!
