Posted Mon 6 Mar 2017 23.51 by kipling

Hi have just been diagnosed with ppp it is on hands and feet and scalp is scaly too, starting PUVA tommorow. Will be starting on methexotrate soon too not sure about this med has anyone found problems with this drug. It is messing up my life as i have had this flare since september, finding it difficult if not impossible to mprepare meals or other everyday tasks. my hands are very sore and tender have lost one fingernail and losing thumbnail too. I just wondered how everyone copes with this sometimes i just sit and cry with the pain and itchyness. i know im not alone but it feels like it at the moment would apprieciate any help or wisdom from other sufferers.

If you are newly diagnosed and you are going straight on Methatrexate it must be bad! Good luck with the treatment, keep a close eye on your Psoriasis as Methatrexate made mine worse.
