Hi janice..
I am on MTX at the moment for psoriatic arthritis and while it is working wonders for that (I am now off my daily NSAIDs) it hasn't done a single thing for my psoriasis...
For me, that's not an issue, my P and I came to an understanding a LONG time ago and I don't really mind my patches these days but I know it is a rather hit and miss medication... Works for some, doesn't work for others.
My advice is to give it a shot (assuming you have had UVB which works fantastically) as you never know if you don't try. Mind you, if you like a tipple you'll be unhappy to hear that you should not drink on MTX (I am allowed 4 units a week but very rarely drink so not a problem for me).
Let us know how you get on.
