Hi Martin, nice to meet you!
Have you had a look online for the NICE pathway for psoriasis?
You just have to have tried various treatments and shown they are not suitable/ do not work before moving on to biologics.
If you had methotrexate they should have a record of that and what went wrong for you with it, be it side effects or it failing to work. They don't force you to stay on something if the side effects are affecting your life. I didn't find mtx too bad but it did stop working after about a year on it so they moved me on to the next thing.
