Im new
« on: December 14, 2011, 11:34:17 PM »
Hello everyone!
Newbee here.
Ive just been diagnosed with P,
I'm 48 and been suffering dry, cracked and bleeding fingers and hands.
Been dealing with this for about a year when the last 6 months has got worse.
My outbreaks ..for me, are not as bad as some of the others in this forum who have been suffering worse outbreaks for most of their lives.
 I decided to register in this forum for some help and maybe return some help to others in the future.
The Dermatologist wants to put me on MX and I'm hesitant, really don't like the side effects it may produce.
looking forward for some advice.
Thanks,
Mark

i have been on mtx for seven months , not had any real serious side effects and has helped my p in places.

try not to worry you will be monitored with blood tests  :)
