It is your choice Shane, your dermatologist tries a range of treatments and as far as I understand starts with the lower cost options for obvious reasons.As far as I know MTX is quite effective in about 80% of cases according to my derm depending on side effect which are variable.
However it absolutely has to fit your lifestyle as well, again thats my opinion.
As regards sunlight it was very effective early days in my case less so over the last few years. But it may be a combination of relaxation, minerals in the sea as iI swim a lot on holiday etc.
One thing I am aware of and reading most peoples stories is that finding an effective treatment, whether that is a cream, pills, UVB or injections, finding that treatment is a journey. Some better than others.
Good luck on that journey.
