Hi everyone .
I have had psoriatic arthritis for a number of years . It went into remission for both pregnancies and my plan was to try and deal with the pain with pain killers/ anti inflammatories for a year or so before trying for dc3.
The pain has just got so bad recently it would be easier to pinpoint the joints that aren't affected . I can barely walk or move my neck in the mornings which is so hard with the two Dcs .
Does anyone know if methotrexate is the first drug of choice to treat the condition or are there others?
My issue is that I do want dc3 and wanted to avoid methotrexate if I could .
Will be making an appointment with the rheumatologist soon I just wanted some insight first!
Sorry for the whinge .
Thanks in advance
