Hi,

Been a really long time since i posted last (approx 2 years... Blush)
When I last posted I was on Acitretin and things were not going well.
About a month after my last post I was put on Methotrexate and have been on 15mg /week since then.
I can happily say that after 8-10 weeks all my patches were cleared and I have been cleared for the better part of the last two years.
So far I have had no effects from Methotrexate. Bloodworks getting done every month although that is a real pain as I loose a day's income every month for a 2 min bloodwork. (I can live with that Cool )

I'd just like to say, Psoriasis can be controlled. Just stick with it and you'll get there. It might be a painful, frustrating process but something will work for you.

Welcome back Henry , I was on MTX for a long time in fact 9 years in total , 6 on oral and 3 on injections and I had no real problems with until at the end of the 6 years then not bad on injection but again the side effects built up with the MTX. A lot of people don't like it but there is nothing wrong with it at all and it can work really well so I just hope that it continues for you.

Yes it can take time, but when you do get it under control and get your life back it feels great.

Good to see you back after two years and long may your treatment work for you.
