Hello. Has anyone wen through separation due to psoriasis and methotrexate? I have a rare condition called palmolantar psoriasis. It forms on my hands and feet. It can get really bad and hurts and itches like hell if I have flare ups and don’t take me medication. I didn’t know until a few months ago that I could be MEB because of the medicine, but the dermatologist didn’t initiate because I didn’t want to. I’ve been on methotrexate for almost 2 years now. If I were to MEB, does anyone know what the DOD rating and VA rating might look like for this condition? I developed it in the Army while on the trail. I’ve done some research already, but would like some views.

I’ve also started to develop knee pain. I thought it was from PT, but could very well be from psoriasis. How would I go about getting that diagnosed? Physical therapy isn’t helping.

I have psoriatic arthritis and on methotrexate as well and I’m currently in MEB
 
Rheumatoid arthritis, on methotrexate and trying to dodge an MEB until I hit 20 years in May. I’ll watch your case if you post updates.

I go ahead and get the process started, they are not going to push you out any earlier than 20 because you’re in the sanctuary.
