Hi Jen and a big to the club. Here you have found a small but friendly bunch of sufferers who share our experiences and talk of our treatments in the safety of the club environment.
As far as your treatment is concerned I would try to warn you off methotrexate as it is not effective for PSA, you should not worry in my opinion about Fumaderm side effects as it works in the intestine not in the stomach. I'm sure some one with better knowledge than me will give you chapter and verse about it.
Re topical treatment, they are only ever going to treat the skin not the cause, so tablets or injections is the next step, there are many other treatments if Fumaderm worries you there are lots of biological treatments in the health boards if you can't find them I will post a link to them
Biological Treatments For Psoriasis
I'm not sure about how to get diagnosis for PSA but I suspect it will involve a visit to a rheumatologist
Re psoriasis score the link below should explain it for you
