I think as it is NHS there is a cost benefit to look at and I am assuming orals are cheaper.
I recall when I started out thet consultant said that MTX was like the first line with80% effectiveness but obviously reading about it many people have terrible side effects.
I cant see myself getting Stelera right now even though 3 monthly injections would be great.
My biggest concern is the interim swinging from one treatment to another and how my psoriasis may be effected.
I guess it is all part of the journey. That said I may still be on MTX if my bloods are OK, I guess it is an opportune time to discuss it with my consultant.
