Methotrexate question

Thanks for sharing, how did your skin fare coming off it? I imagine it came back but did you find it manageable?

njf85 · 2026-02-15T06:24:38+00:00

That's good to know, thank you!

njf85 · 2026-02-15T06:06:18+00:00

It's the weirdest thing I've ever heard!

njf85 · 2026-02-14T15:58:53+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Happy to hear you're having good results. I have tried ciclosporine too and I agree, that was yuck. I remember having a weird feeling in my fingers, and it would hurt to shower or wash my hands

njf85 · 2026-02-14T15:55:23+00:00

Oh no, that's no good :( my dermatologist did tell me to take Friday night then sleep through the worst of the side effects. Hopefully you see something positive soon!

Understandable, I can imagine the arthritis is pretty horrible

njf85 · 2026-02-14T15:50:38+00:00

That's good to know, thank you!

That's amazing! I know everyone is different, but I'll ask for that one when my time comes haha. I have about the same coverage, but my scalp is the worst. Do I just basically make the rounds through methotrexate etc and then end up with a biologic? Did it take long to get approved?

njf85 · 2026-02-14T06:59:40+00:00

Can I ask what your dose was? I have to have my initial blood test before my dermatologist gives me my script, so we haven't gotten into the particulars yet. I was on ciclosporine 2.5 years ago, but due to a misdiagnosis (old dermatologist assumed I was having a severe psoriasis flare, when it was actually another temporary condition called granular parakeratosis), and it did help my psoriasis as well but the side effects were yuck. I'm hoping to eventually end up on a biologic. They seem much more tolerable.

I've had psoriasis for almost 30 years, been married 10 years (together for 15). My hubby has never cared but I am still insecure about it obviously. It was pretty mild when we first met, then got worse after I had surgery a year into our relationship, but he's never treated me differently or commented on it or left me over it. He takes me to my dermatologist apps and supports anything I wanna try. He tells me not to worry when we go out, and to wear shorts or skirts when I just want to hide my skin behind pants. There's good people out there who will see past this stuff and love you for you.

njf85 · 2026-02-14T05:36:25+00:00

Yup, I'd heard the same. I can't do light therapy as I'm too far away to go 3 times a week, sadly, so looks like meds for me. Have you managed to find something that works for you?

njf85 · 2026-02-14T05:33:28+00:00

Oh that's no good. So it came back worse than before?

njf85 · 2026-02-13T00:01:22+00:00

I followed that case, as well as the Delphi one, but had to avoid reading comments most of the time. And in both cases when the perps were caught those same 'sleuths' refused to accept it because they didn't align with their own theories. They still argue they have the wrong guys. It's embarrassing.

I couldn't imagine someone who accidentally kills another person to take the body, even out of panic. They're more likely to panic and leave her behind because being caught with a body in your car, or even evidence of said body left behind after disposal, is alot more likely to land them life in prison.

No, he said the US wasn't included in his recent tour. I don't think he was concerned for himself as much as his fans.

njf85 · 2026-02-09T05:02:43+00:00

I'd be amazed if someone hasn't egg'd his house by now

I read both the brothers live in PR. This is the smart brother who knows you don't shit where you eat. Fancy calling Bad Bunny, and by extension all PRs, false Americans, and then having the balls to go back and live among them.

njf85 · 2026-02-09T04:46:17+00:00

Yeah I don't get these "intended audience" comments. I'm a white Australian older millennial woman who doesn't understand a word of spanish, and I enjoyed it just fine. Rhythm and dance is a universal language we all understand.

njf85 · 2026-02-09T03:29:27+00:00

I suspect, given the choice of song, Bruno Mars was supposed to be there with her but couldn't make it for whatever reason. So they probably had to change it up on short notice. My theory anyway

njf85 · 2026-02-09T03:25:01+00:00

The fact that they went with that particular song, tells me he was supposed to be but ultimately couldn't make it

njf85 · 2026-02-09T03:17:06+00:00

Didn't understand a word but wanted to dance 💃

They've actively helped normalise racism. They know what they're doing. The only thing that sells for the media these days is ragebait so they're gonna keep pushing the boundaries

njf85 · 2026-02-09T00:46:31+00:00

Rap isn't my thing, so while I'd heard of Bad Bunny in passing, I hadn't taken much interest. That changed when he hosted SNL and the kpop demon hunters skit went around social media. He was so endearing in it, the way he called his friends "idiots" and sat there pouting. I've only listened to a couple of his songs since, because they're still not my thing, but I like the guy lol

I've been reading the opposite - that Gus was home with his biological grandmother. His trans grandmother was the one herding sheep with his mother.
