Hi all new to this I have had psoriasis since 1990 and have all drugs lotions and potions going for it I'm starting Otezla today after being on 25mgs of methotrexate for abt 2yrs plus now as I have reached the point of new patches appearing so there for time to try something else. So otezla is the new wonder drug apparently so we shall see how I fair on it just took first tablet this morning so will keep you updated on the side effects if any. 
Would just like to say the methotrexate side effects I suffered from were terrible sick and headaches so here's hoping I can push through any from this hope it's worth it.

Hello Tracey,

Welcome to Psoriasisclub. A place with experienced sufferers on Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis of all over the World. You will meet a lot of people with the same or alike problems as you have.
This is a very friendly group of people, we like to discuss and have different opinions with the most of respect for the others opinion.

We certainly encourage you to keep a Journal on your experiences with Otezla, as we all can learn from that.

Take a look around and if you want to know something just post your question and you will get an answer from one of us. Even the insane ones will answer, so beware.

I admire you already as you were on MTX during two years, I did not get further than a number of weeks, but it is good that you are off that.

Have fun over here with us, don't forget the off topic section.

Caroline.

I know that injection yourself is heavy. I recently followed a treatment where I had to inject myself, thought it was very very difficult.

We all try to make this the most wonderful and human forum that exists, and I think we are doing fine trying to reach that.
