Hi

jb68

Hello aged 32

Was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis back in October time and been on methotrexate since then. Been on 8 tablets a week and haven’t noticed any improvements.

Now getting put on in addition to Sulfasalazine soon and was wondering if anyone on the same. also methotrexate going up to 10 tablets a week

Got given a Kenalog Steroid Injection and feel great, hopefully give some relief for a couple of months

Any advice would be great. Most affecting my feet and knees making it hard to bend down and go up stairs
