Good to hear annie, I think the biggest thing is the side effects. If you don't get them and have a positive reaction it certainly looks to me like I will have a period of respite. Now I am in the system and everything is under control I feel I have time to investigate and understand treatments and possibly plan longer term care such as next steps, what if MTX stops working etc etc. For the time being I am enjoying the positives.
What amazes me from all of this is how my GP continually prescribed steroid based creams with a very occasional request to see me such as once in five years.
Dermatologists, and this forum are the way to go. Here you can get information and user experience on drugs that even your dermatologist but certainly your GP doesn't have all the data on. OK your dermatologist should but lets be honest, they are not always candid.
