HI guys - Well I am back to square one again. I had been on MTX for the last few weeks but was pulled off this week by my derm. because of all the side effects. It was helping for sure but, not worth all the other neg. stuff. My derm. wants to see me in the beginning of August to start a new med. I am not real sure I want to do that. I think I will start on the Barney's formula and do some uvb tanning at the local tanning bed and see if it helps. I have severe P and PA. I am hoping that there is an answer somewhere here for me. When I think of all the hoops I had to go thru. to get on the meds. ie. MRI, 2 TB tests, Back x-ray, chest x-ray and blood tests and then the side effects after getting on the meds, it turns me off going back on meds. I am feeling rather hopeless for sure. I can kiss my pipe dream of wearing shorts and skirts this summer, goodbye. O boy, this is such a crazy roller coaster ride. It is enough to drive me to drink - but I won't because who needs yet another problem

. Anyway, here I go again.
