[split] New tablets today

[Freckles22]

Hi everyone, I am a newbie to this group but have had psoriasis for most of my 57 years. For the past 20 years I have been treated very successfully with methotrexate - tablets mostly but weekly injection for the past 5 years. My dermatologist has told me to stop now though due to recurring sinusitis which has been so bad I needed surgery for it last month. I am using dovobet for now but he has given me literature on acitretin and suggested I start this in a few months. I am very nervous about using dovobet and reading the side effects of acitretin scares me too! 
I know I am getting on a bit and maybe shouldn't be so vain, but one of the side effects was hair loss or thinning and as if psoriasis isn't bad enough already losing my hair would be devastating. Any thoughts??
