Thanks, folks. I working through my emotions one day at a time. And the symptoms of the side effects. Your comments do reassure me.

Now I just need to deal with my doctor who did not warn me of ALL of the side effects. He stressed the liver damage, but not hair falling out. Nor why I need monthly monitoring of certain blood levels. Or that it's needed. Of course, he also stressed the damage that could occur if the psoriatic arthritis was left untreated.

Problem is that he knows better. I was referred to him because of similar tactics by previous doctors. I'm disappointed and told his nurse that. He will also hear it from me. I didn't appreciate the scare tactics (which worked) because I know the dangers of RMDs. My mother died from LUPUS.

Thanks for listening to my vent.

Moving towards slowly but surely.
