I am on methotrexate for severe psoriasis on hands and feet.i went off it for 6 weeks.the joints on my hands began to swell.is this due to stoping med?

Possible: One of the disorders associated with psoriasis is arthritis. It is not a good idea to change a strong medication like methotraxate without discussion with your doctor. Please consult the doctor who prescribed the medication. There are alternatives to methotraxate that you should discuss.
