I'v had P good 10 years. About this time last year I had some UVB treatment (but I burnt easy so it lasted in to March this year), that was fine and worked!! but when the treatment stopped, the P came back again. So it was'ent really worth 2 trips to the hospital every week.
I am about to start on MTX perhaps before Christmas, I have read a lot about it and it seems some get away with little side effects once their boby get used to it. So I hope it gets better for you.
I was going to go on Acitretin, this is a vitamin A dirivitive!?, but my Cholestrol was too high and I'm only a skinny bloke!!
I used to belong to another P forum, but can't find it now, shame 100's of members very busy and helpful. So that's why I'm here. I would like to hear from folks on MTX, or been on it.

i've had psoriasis scince i was 4 over 20 yrs now and its got increasingly worse i have had every treatment going and am now awaiting a trial drug from america. anyway mthtxate has the side affects of makin you feel down in the dumps and v tired and fed up some people get it worse than others but on most it does pass as you get used to the drug unfortunatly 4 me it only got worse my emotions ran really high i was a bit of a jekal and hyde on it but perservere as i now it passes on most and has really god effects. but remember it is slow to begin with so dont worry if u think your ps isnt gettin better yet!!!!
good luck

Seriously thinking its a waste of time taking it as doing me more than good. I'm only 30 and now having menstrual probs like early meno-pause.
Does anyone else suffer these symptoms.
