Well, I have now been on the MTX now for almost 5 month's and so far it's not going badly at all.
For the majority of my scaled patches, the treatment is doing a pretty good job, but on a couple of small patches it is not performing quite so well.
Don't get me wrong, it is working, but not as effectively as some other area's.
I recently went back for a Consultant check at the hospital, I was told that I could increase the dose to 12.5 or 15mg, but I chose to stay on the current dosage, simply because I am not getting any side effects at all.
I have also stopped smoking within the last 2 weeks, but whether this benefits me treatment wise, I have yet to find out.
To summarise: The treatment all seems to be going well with no apparent side effects, so Happy days.
Hope this helps, any queeries just ask or PM.
Regards to all
