hi. i have read your question and understand your concern.

low grade fever for one month can or cannot be because of psoriatic arthritis. you need a complete work up for your fever. only after ruling out other causes can we be sure that the fever is because of psoriasis. for this i suggest you see a physician.

both wysolone and neotrexate are immunosuppresants and could have led to flare up of some infection which needs to be ruled out.

as for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis neotrexate is most commonly employed drug which has got a good efficacy and safety profile. usually wysolone is not advised for long term management of psoriatic arthritis. i suggest you talk to your rheumatologist to reconsider wysolone.

hope this answer helps. for further queries please get back to us. thanks.
