Starting methotrexate.. arsenalfan13

Okay I think something is starting to happen. All of a sudden all my plaques seem flatter and a lighter colour. The unbearable itch has disappeared. This has all happened very suddenly, though I do realise the itch had been less intense for a few days now and I hadn't noticed. I'm absolutely delighted.

Still no side effects that I'm noticing. I do currently have a cold though. Usually beat colds/flu freakishly quick but I've had this for a week now. Getting my first blood test tomorrow since the dose increase. Wondering how my currently illness may affect the results?

Great news at long last you are beginning to see changes. Let’s hope it starts working fast for you and you manage to tolerate it without side effects   that would be brilliant

I hope the blood test results are ok if your white count is down a bit explain that you have had an infection and suggest another test when the infection clears up
Good luck and thanks for the update I’m sure it will help others in a similar situation
