Well its early days and I don't want to get my hopes up. My psoriasis was returning and felt quite aggressive, that seems to have eased off for now so hopefully it will have slowed and start to recede.
If it follows the path like last time it should start to have a positive effect in the next two weeks as all of the patches are very small but they were quite itchy, thats stopped now as well which I always see as a good sign.
Not getting side effects is an obvious bonus but I think I need to get it under control in the medium to long term and discuss other less toxic treatments with the consultant. I will have to ask about Stelera but have no idea what the future holds. Stay on MTX for a while to see how it goes then change when I need to or look at Stelera early on to change. It is a mine field.
What has surprised me is that they will not be taking as many blood tests, one every 6 weeks but maybe that's because I got through the first course without any detrimental effects.
