Starting MTX

[jiml]

This weeks MTX doseage of 15mg passed without incident. Nothing new or exciting to report just that my psoriasis is still relatively quiet and less aggressive.

I do think some modifications to my lifestyle would help as at present I am getting very little sleep with work and under stress which we all know is far from helpful. Need to see what I can do on the lifestyle side of things.

Certainly less stress helps. We all know how it is at work, for some reason we are always in a hurry. If you can change your lifestyle then you should do so. Often that is the only way of changing things for yourself, as the world around you will not change quickly or adapt to you.  

I think it's positive that your psoriasis is less aggressive, it shows the methotrexate is working. Perhaps not as fast as you would like, but it's not a quick fix , better to be slow and steady and get a good result without to many side effects...
A change in lifestyle would be good if you can achieve it, I'm not sure how to de-stress in the modern world where everything moves so fast, even a change of diet might help although it's not something I could do.

I would not worry too much about changing, I would just continue as you are and give methotrexate a good chance
