I have psoriasis as well. It is starting to go away with the methotrexate.

Can i ask what else you use

for the psoriasis.

hydrochloroquine worked fairly quickly and well for me but I had very mild

symptoms at the time (still not too bad). My rheumy loves this med as its been

around for a long time and is usually well tolerated. Unfortunately, about

30% of patients who take it who have psoriasis find that the psoriasis worsens.

By the time I figured out what was causing mine to worsen I was itching all

over despite multiple anti-itching meds. It was quite funny, really. My

rheumy felt bad but I still think it was worth a try as I might have been one

of

the lucky 70%.

Hope it works well for you.

I was just diagnosed at my last rheumatology visit with Vit D deficiency. I am

taking 50,000 units weekly. I will see her next week and we will see how my

level is. Before starting treatment it was 17 and the normal range for the lab

is 40-100.

Low vitamin D levels have been shown in those that suffer chronic pain diseases.

My doctor put me on a supplement quite some time ago, but next time I go I am

going to make sure they have been keeping an eye on my levels.
