Hi Shane and 
to the forum, I'm glad you have done some research and have found the forum helpful, as you have no doubt noticed, this is a friendly place to come and discuss the options that are available to us as sufferers..
I'm not a great lover of methotrexate, it's a drug I used and it is very good for clearing your skin and keeping you clear...I found the side effects got to much for me, and decided to come off it...
I was lucky enough to be offered amongst other things Fumaderm which I was advised to try as it was less toxic than many of the options
You will hear many stories about methotrexate from lovers of it to haters, I think its difficult to decide when there are conflicting reports.
Myself if I were young and offered methotrexate I would be wary having read some accounts, and would ask on the grounds that you are considering parenthood in the future, to try something less toxic, like Fumaderm .
Although that in itself has side effects, but they will be short lived, it's not a quick fix it's a slow burner and may take a while to kick in, whereas methotrexate for me was quite fast working
These are just my opinions and really it's up to you the way forward.....I'm glad you have found us and hope you will get lots of advice and different opinions to consider
Meanwhile check out the health boards they are packed full of facts and members experiences
The site is fully independent and no one will ever try to sell you anything and spam is banned instantly, so post away, ask questions and join the community
We also have an active off topic section for our enjoyment come and join in there as well if you wish
