      The only thing I take is Tylenol. And use construction devices. Ace bandage. Knee braces etc. They help with the swelling, which brings the pain down.

      Psoriatic arthritis is so hard on me. I hurt all the time. I was in a car accident in October and my psoriatic arthritis has been in a flair ever since. It has taken over every aspect of my life it seems.

      I am on Methotrexate for my PSA and that causes me to be sick for about two days out of the week. It is helping with the pain though. I would be in a lot more pain without it.

      I was on methotrexate for 10 years it was so amazing it took the pain away but I was very sick as well and couldn’t be a healthy weight. I am now on an infusion and I love it but it starts to ware off the last 3 weeks

      I found that eating fruit and drinking lots of water or flavored water helped with nausea when on methotrexate.. also salty things like popcorn made me feel better

      I’m losing a LOT of hair due to methotrexate and a biologic. My rheumatologist suggested rogain but it’s sooo expensive and tbh, being sick is expensive enough already! I’m ALWAYS fatigued but that can also be due to my fibro. When I’m in a flare my appetite goes waaaay down. So yes, similar symptoms! You’re not alone friend 🤗

      I noticed that salt made my nausea better too. Mandarin oranges are the best for me at soothing my stomach. I have lost a lot of hair on methotrexate so I did a Mohawk and now I’m happy with my hair haha. The top looks like it has more hair and the sides aren’t noticeable. It’s easy to take care of. I’m 57.
