It is a very long time since I have been here, I kind of lost track of it and searched a few times but didn't manage to find the site but today I have.
So whats new! I was on methotrexate and eventually got taken off it. I was given skilerance that didn't work but my consultant has no record of it so has prescribed it again. I need to get the pharmacy to write to him telling him that I have already tried it! I had acretin that nearly killed me. You know when you have a blood test and within hours your GP and consultant ring you and tell you to stop taking the drug immediately and to go to hospital the next day for tests, I think it was my neutrophils cells had plummeted so I had basically no immune system, something like that anyway. Then I went on cyclosporine which I have just been taken off.
Life is OK learned to cope with psoriasis a long time ago and it has generally been a lot more manageable apart form about 12 months after I was taken off methotrexate. I know I know its a bad drug but worked for me until my liver needed to recover a little.
If I don't end up on the skilerance I will be on biologicals.
Anyway I am glad I found you.
