I've been battling with Chronic urticaria and eczema for over three years. At one point in this journey, my skin was so bad I wanted to die. Some of the care I have received hasn't been great, but I do want to thank Dr Torley and the team at the Queen Elizabeth in Glasgow, who were amazing.
Dr Torley prescribed methotrexate after a failed course of Xoliar (methotrexate was her initial recommendation, but I was VERY reluctant to go down that path). It has taken over a year to get my dose right - mainly due to a six-month break in care when moving house and changing health boards - but I now have my life back. I have no side-effects from the treatment.
I'm not 100% better, but I'm at least 90%. So thank you Dr Torley for talking me into using methotrexate (and telling me to get off Facebook!).
