My Journey to halt/end my psoriasis

[Sheila]

This will be my fourth week taking six little MTX pills.  I consistently have a little queasy, nausea feeling and increased headache, but it's not enough to make me want to quit.  I do think I'm seeing a little improvement and am grateful for the ease in the itching, too.  

It's good that Dave can recommend the injectible version and that it's a possible option.  

Could any of the medications or hormones for your transition be responsible for the sweats?  

As for topical steroids, my dermy has given me a schedule for usage, and I hope that will help avoid thinning skin problems.  She's also prescribed a Vitamin D based cream for use when I'm taking a break from topical steroid.  Stopping your Clobetasone abruptly might not be good.

Abrupt or not....it's going bye bye. NOT doing a steroid any longer than I have to. I get a say in my health, too, and steroids are not the path for me. For now, my psoriasis has gone down to a dull roar. Itching is way down and so are the lesions. But again, it's going bye bye, come hell or high water.

The MTX has increased my nausea a shade. Ozempic has a stronger influence in that area and I am used to it. No it's not fun, to be sure. Injectable is an option I suppose, but let's see what med will be helping me. I want to take MTX solely and I am just giving it a chance to take hold and I am done with Clobetasol. 

It's my first day on hormones today so let's see how it affects me! I could wind up being an absolute female dog, or a blubbering mound of tears. Who know? I just know that I am so looking forward to anything that estrogen can throw at me. I look at it like I missed out on 40+ years of bleeding and cramps, so this will be natures way of playing catch up! 

Anyways, it's nice to hear from you Forrest! Happy New Year! Bonne Anee!
