Hi Kami,

Thanks for your reply. I do have some nail marking. In fact that is the only

sign of the Psoriasis that I have. How did it affect your mood? I'm glad to

hear your daughter is better! Thanks again. Its nice to know there are other

people out there!

Does it work?

,

Welcome! My name is Kami and I have RA. My 15 year old daughter has Psoriatic

Arthritis and has been on MTX for 16 weeks. I can honestly say that this

medication has turned her life around. Seriously: 180 degrees. She injects the

medication once a week and has had minimal side effects. The main side effect

she has had is fatigue.

You will find many people here who take MTX or have in the past. In all I can

only tell you that in my case, it altered my mood so badly I had to stop it

however it has given my daughter her life back.

Just curious: Do you have any nail involvement with your PsA?
