It's Amazing, it really is, I have to keep checking to make sure ! Hi Micky, I'm glad you are still looking in. That's great that you eventually went for the MTX and that it has worked so well. I'm sorry to hear that your elbows are gone though. I hope you get them back again. lol I am currently on 20mg of it. Didn't do too much for me I'm afraid but I have improved since they added Enbrel. Still not back on the running track though! lol Keep in touch if you can. We accept ex PA sufferers too. lol Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hi Micky, Probably long gone by now but just in case you look in every now and then, its was great to hear from you again and brilliant that you have gone into clinical remission. Long may it continue. Good luck, Hi and others Thanks for the good wishes I have now gone back to Day zero - meaning I am as fit and as healthy as the days before I had ever heard of this nasty PA . No Psoriasis and No joint pain, My elbows are clear - completely gone! ! ! It's Amazing, it really is, I have to keep checking to make sure ! I tried to find that Poem I wrote on here, but I can't find it in the archives. I wanted to put that and also my first post on here so that I could give some of the newbie's hope, but alas I could not find. Maybe one of you guys could send it to me if you have a copy of your e mails. I feel so good I have changed completely - I have stopped smoking! I have started losing weight and have even started paying over payments on my mortgage so that I can pay it off earlier The reason for all of this is that I feel like for now I have a second chance in life, maybe I haven't, maybe I have, but I'm not hanging around to question it! if you know what I mean.. In my case MTX + CATS CLAW + ARCOXIA = Clinical Remission I have not taken any MTX since December 1st and I have been having about 2x120MG tablets a week of Arcoxia, although I probably don't need it, It's a confidence thing I think. So there you have it people I found my magic bullet MTX and I probably could have found that at the beginning! My fears of it were out of proportion to the actual thing itself! In my first ever post back in 2003 I started with talk about the reasons for not taking MTX and what I could do to avoid it because of the side effects etc I look at that post and can't believe how stupid I was being, but at the time it seemed very reasonable to me .. As it probably does for a lot of people on here who have the same fears I had back then. who used to be on this site forever went on about the benefits of MTX, but in the back of my head I just had this feeling of Fear that always talked me out of trying it probably more of the unknown than anything else! Anyway I'm not saying that MTX will be good for everybody as we are all individuals, but PLEASE don't wait until it's too late to give it a go. I feel that because I started the MTX early in the course of this disease It gave it a better chance of getting on top of this PA (only my opinion) I have to say that It may not do anything for anyone on here and heck maybe I just got lucky, but do not avoid it for the reasons I did... You just never know! You may get lucky too.... Micky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
