Methotrexate experience

[Fred]

I'm not sure why there is an " attack " on the Derm Consultant to move me over to Methotrexate ? I was on DUF since Sept 16 and just couldn't progress towards tabs/ day added to that I had a very adverse reaction around April/ May 2017  ( PS outbreak & severe itching ) added I had to stop DUF on 6 June 2017 ready for a major foot reconstruction operation  on 6. July 2017 - within 2 weeks of stopping DUF all itching and new PS outbreak cleared up - added liver function results came  back to norm - yes I've TT  for over 1  1/2 years .
 I have had PS for over 40 years and have trust in my Derm Consultant ......so please don't be negative regarding her methods - I have trust in her and I value your positive comments & support on this site 

Kind regards
Vincent

Hello Vincent I'm pleased to hear you value the positive comments and support of Psoriasis Club. It's also great that you have complete trust in your dermatologist, I too have a very good relationship with my dermatologist.

I can understand your questioning the "attack" on your dermatologist and you are right to speak up in her defence, but you will find at Psoriasis Club we do tend to speak our minds on how we fell about a treatment and you did ask for "experience good or bad" also some of our members don't use English as their first language so sometimes the way things are worded may be taken the wrong way.

I don't think anyone was making a personal attack on your dermatologist as such, it was more an attack on the treatment you were being offered.

We never mention professionals by name on Psoriasis Club, but sometimes you may see us knocking them in some way. I will always say rheumatologists don't have a clue what they are talking about, but it doesn't mean that I think a particular one is in that category. It's just how I feel and I say it.

Good to see you around again by the way.

Fred.
