Methotrexate....Update No 2

[mickyfinn007]

Well, I have just gone into my 11th week of treatment with Methotrexate and visited my Consultant this week.
He gave me the choice of increasing the dosage this week, but I chose to stay on 10mg, for another 8 weeks, until my next monitoring session at the hospital.
I have noticed a marked improvement in the scaling since my last hospital visit, and the treatment is still continuing to improve my skin scaling, I have also had no apparent side effects, blood tests are also very positive.
I don't need another blood test now for 7 wks.
I will now update my Psoriasis score, which I know will have come down since last time.
In the last 3 wks, the scaling has reduced by around 30%, happy days.
Good Luck to all,
Micky.

That is great news Micky! There is nothing better than when we can relax and enjoy life without this dreaded disease controlling every thought. I pray your clearing continues and gets better and better.
