    After my mtx stopped working Enbrel (Entenercept) was added to it and I've now been Psoriasis free for 15 months and counting, the first time in 18 years!

    Xx

      Thanks for the info Kupkake.

      Are there any oral medications that work better than Mtx?

      I am a bit skeptical towards biologics

      I am on sulphasalazine as well as methotrexate. Because the mtx Adobe want touching it. Seems to be improving although I still get flare ups from time to time.
