Avoiding Methotrexate

[hanny1973]

First you shouldn't be using Enstilar long term, the recommended treatment period is 4 weeks. Also when you mention you were greasy I'm guessing you were using a lot and your clothes were sticky, you were lucky you didn't catch fire as Its flammable.

If you don't want Methotrexte refuse to take it, it's your body they are messing with. I see Jim has pointed you to Skilarence that would be a better alternative.

If you don't feel like telling them to stick the Methotrexate where the sun don't shine, tell them you enjoy alcohol or you (depending on your circumstances) are trying for a baby. Those are two reasons it should not be prescribed.

As you have had psoriasis for 30 years it's worth asking about one of the Bio's, see more here: Biological Treatments For Psoriasis

*Remember you are in charge not your dermatologist so only go for what you are comfortable with.

Welcome to Psoriasis Club by the way. 

Thanks for the welcome Fred.

I have been using Enstilar intermittently, use for a week or so then not again for a few weeks but appreciate that it's not long term. Fortunately my days of playing with matches are over  

The alcohol one is an interesting conversation, I'm worried that the response will be what is more important to you, clear skin or a beer?

Thanks for the advice about who is in charge, it's not something I have ever really felt comfortable with!
