methotrexate: I have suffered several types of chronic psoriasis, including the life threatening form for 50 years. After developing severe disability from Psoriatic Arthritis I gave in to taking this drug, my skin is 90% improved, inflammation much better, but still have high inflammatory markers in blood tests. Now on steroids. Nausea still persists so I take folic acid.

methotrexate: I have been a victim of psoriasis for the last seven years. I came to know about this drug from a skin specialist in the year 2004. Prior to this I was covered up to 75% but when I took this it vanished after taking a mere 30 mg. It recurred in year 2005. Since then I am taking it frequently, as I did not find any other alternative to fight this skin disorder. As far as my personal experience is concerned, I didn't have any side effect.

methotrexate: I have been on methotrexate now for 6 months. Its great as I was 85% covered with psoriasis and it improved almost instantly by 90%. Although there is one drawback, I get recurrent bouts of bacterial vaginosis, which is most uncomfortable and have to then take high dose of antibiotics (which make me feel very sick for a few days).

methotrexate: I've been on this medicine for about 3 weeks. I have psoriasis on my hands and feet. I can walk again and do NORMAL things without my hands cracking and bleeding. So far I haven't had any side effects that are related to this medication.

methotrexate: I have had Psoriasis for 12 years. While it has not helped the stubborn patches on my scalp and groin, it has been very helpful for my joints. However, I am taking 15mg once a week and after 5 days my hands and feet ache again. I feel very old sometimes. As we know, it's trial and error. This is worth the risks so that I can shop, play Frisbee, and simply act my age.

methotrexate: I tried a number of different treatments, but only methotrexate helps. I had it in my scalp, back, genital area, mostly body parts that were not exposed to sun and air, which I find interesting. My doctor said sun exposure would help and it works for me. Still have a little on my scalp, but usually one application of Olux will clear it up.

methotrexate: Worked wonders for me. I suffered from Psoriasis covering the insides of my hands. Was very painful. Would crack and bleed. Tried many creams and other meds. Once I started this medication it cleared up quickly. Am now able to use my hands again.
