I shall be watching.
We've had a few members mention it, I think Fingers is on it still but he hasn't updated lately.
By what I know it's had mixed reviews, so it will be interesting to see how you do with it.
Good luck.

I'm interested Tracey and will follow your journey with great interest here, did you have your bloods and kidneys and liver functions tested before they started you?
Here's to a bright future on otezla for you
Hope you get results soon

I'll keep an eye on this with interest, as I visit my Consultant in 2 weeks.
I've been on MTX almost 6 years, stopped working for me now, so time for a change.
Thanks for posting your discovery,
Regards
Micky
