Hello NPF'ers. I just wanted to give you an update. (I have PPP). So I have seen three doctors in five months. I'm back to my original (longest-term doc), becuz he seems to GET me. I stopped going to him, becuz he was an hour away - but it's worth the drive now, to get TLC and a doctor who actually remembers me!
I am back to taking 10 pills (max dose) every Saturday of MTX, and I've started cyclosporine again, 2x a day. I found a multi-vitamin that contains the amount of folic acid I need (one less pill to take), and I started a quit-smoking drug called Chantrix. It works great. I've quit and feel so calm. If anyone has tried Zyban or Wellbutrin and still felt the cravings, try this. It's a regular RX, so you have to see your doctor.
I feel great, inside and out. My hands are clearing (finally), it took a real long time, and I was very sad, frustrated, mad (well - every kind of feeling). My feet are still not completely healed, but they are coming along.
Thanks to all who have emailed and posted messages, the support is so good on this webpage.

Glad to hear that the combination of Mtx and Cyclo are starting to clear up your PPP. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it gets clear and stays clear. Good luck.
