I had it added to my Taltz when it stopped working so well but it made my hair fall out so I stopped and then switched to Tremfya and working well. Hair has not come back after stopping it

My psorasis skin issues have been good for many years. When I 1st started on humira alone it cleared my skin psorasis in 2011. But my psoratic arthritis was not good. Added MTX to help biologic for PsA. After 10 years my skin broke out. I have text book plaque psorasis since a baby. After trying talz,skirizi which did not work. I am now on enbrel and MTX and is working for both skin is clear and my joints and pain with PsA is good.

I have been on methroxrate 12 years. No problem . It helps my biologic medicine.
I take pills. Been on 25 mg a week now, when I was in remission down to 10 mg a week.
