decreased MTX effectiveness

[D Foster]

I took MTX for 9 years ,6 by tablets at 25mg and 3 by injection at 20mg. I had to pack it in because of increasing side effects however I never got any better than 80% clearance and towards the time I packed it in it was getting less effective each week. After I stopped taking it to go onto Stelara I was told I would have to wait 12 weeks and in that time the P went wild so by the time I went on to the Stelara I was 95% covered ,the only time I had been worse was the three times I ended up in hospital. It did help with the PsA better than the Stelara.
We all react differently to the treatments so it's not a good indication to what will happen to other people judging by what's happen to yourself.
