I have had Psoriatic Arthritis since my teens though it was not diagnosed until many years later. I have taken Methotrexate for 6+ years now and wish I had known of it sooner.
Before starting this drug I could barely get up in the morning. My feet constantly ached and I couldn't stand up straight until after about 10 minutes of constan momement. My hands & fingers were just as bad, stiff & constantly aching. In my 30's I felt like I had the body of a 90 yr old.
Since taking Methotrexate I have much better movement, can stand straight right away, have few days with any pain and can work on a computer all day.
I am on a pretty low dosage and so far I have not had any side effects from this drug. I am taking it with Folic Acid to help prevent the hair thinning or loss.
