Scared of Methotrexate for Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment

I take cosentyx twice a month and it seems to be the only thing that helped my psoriatic arthritis until now! Now I have sores on almost all my fingers and they are super painful!!

i take metho weekly at a .7 ml dose and it is extremely helpful for me combined with my humira weekly mostly i just get some nausea and headaches usually people get bad experiences with metho when they’re on too big of a dose starting out you need to ease into it slowly increasing for best results in my experience

I'm taking methotrexate, orally. Have some relief but not significant enough. They just increased my dosage this week. I take the folic acid every day as recommended to by my rheumatoid dr. Have never had any nausea from it. Maybe slight headache but not too bad.

It sucks!! It didn't work for me but unfortunately our medical needs n wants are 2 different things. You have to fail so many meds in order to get a biologic/injection. I failed 7 medications before getting Tremfya injection 💉. I'm on it almost 6m and I see SOME results but not 100%. Nothing will ever be. Good luck in whatever you try!!

I too was afraid and asked for something else. I’m now on Otezla and Cosentyz injections once a month. I’m having good results.

I'm taking methotrexate. Some nausea and headaches initially but that got better. I also take Lyrica and Tramadol. Sorry you're having such a hard time. I have also had relief with warm Parafin dips. They have machines or a crock pot works to melt the wax. You can add essential oil. I also have warming mitts for hands and feet. Kind of like heating pads for your hands and feet. Wishing you pain relief. 💜💜💜💜
