Hello all!
My name is Robin. I've had psoriasis now for 19 years. I've been on many different treatments. I was on methotrexate back in 2002 and reached the lifetime limit my derm said so unless I had a liver biopsy he would not prescribe it. Well it came back and worse then ever. Then we tried Enbrel. It did nothing for me. Then last year I was diagnosed with Melanoma. I had that mole removed. Also within the last year my PA has been getting worse. They gave me a cortisone shot about a month ago. Well I had what they call a steroid flair up. So bad that my P is now covering my entire body. I've never had it this bad. I've become so depressed they have put me on prozac. I've also have a history of lung problems. Nodules in my lungs which they are still not sure about. So they were holding off on the Methotrexate till a few CT scans had been done 6 months apart. So now finally I've started my Methotrexate! They still are unsure what these nodules are in my lungs. They are thinking now it could be Sarcoidosis. My husband and I are on the verge of divorce because he doesn't support me to much. I've gained so much weight over the last couple years. I've quit smoking and that is some of the weight gain but much of it is depression. So this is a little of my story. I've joined because I know there are people here who understand.
