PA and PA?

[Over10pain]

Hi all.. does anybody have PA and psoriatic arthritis? I’ve just started on prednisone and methotrexate and feeling very depressed and hopeless about my future wondering what’s next?

get your folate levels checked - methotrexate can interfere with folate levels.

Talk to a pharmacist before going for any supplements - some drugs like methotrexate can be less effective if taking folate. Pharmacist may also be able to suggest some more approriate alternatives that you can then discuss with GP

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. With Psoriatic Arthritis , it’s just another of the many autoimmune conditions that can come with Pernicious Anaemia. An autoimmune condition seldom comes alone . Great information from Gambit62. Hope a fellow sufferer gets in touch , then you can compare notes . Best wishes .

Thank you to both. The methotrexate has really been knocking me about. I wish you guys were in Australia!!
