It also depends on the doctor of course....some just simply don't take the time
I refuse to see my rheumatologist, she only ever wants to prescribe methotrexate. She also once told me that Cosentyx would never help psoriatic arthritis, which as I have proved is absolute rubbish.

As I said, it depends on the doctor also.
That being said, I was on MTX about 5 years ago and did not have side effects and my psoriasis cleared up. PSA is another story.
Both your reactions seem logical to me. And has been published already here Methotrexate not working for Synovitis in psoriatic arthritis by Fred himself.
The article shows that it is unlikely that MTX will work for Psoriatic Arthritis.
So I see why you wouldn’t meet with your rheumatologist.
