Psoriatic Arthritis

Hi loves! Good news- bloods back, no lupus, rheumatoid, etc.
Inconclusive for PsA, so I'm being referred to a rheum.
Hopefully imaging of my joints will give more answers.
What's your experience with rheums? Cost in Aus, pos/neg exp, etc?

Hi I'm new to the forum.
I've had P since age 6 w varying degrees of severity, but my skin is good atm.
What's worrying is my joint pain - not yet diag with PsA but getting tests and it seems likely.
Having an awful joint flare atm, any hints?

I went back to my Rheumatologist for my yearly blood work. Good news-after 1 yr of eating gluten free. My CRP (C-reactive protein) is 20 points lower. Yes!
I am NOT taking meds for psoriasis. Nor do I want to take any at this time. I am so happy.

I would like to hear from people suffering Psoriatic Arthritis, and how they are coping.
Look forward to hearing some positives.

My results are in - Negative for Psa!! 😄 What puzzles me is I had it bad at 16yrs old for a year. Heavy meds were needed. Now to have a negative result, This must mean it can go away, or become so little that no markers are found!? Happy Day! ❤

Interesting that i did reading on psoriatic arthitis which i have,my first sign of this was my nails with pitting and then later lifting off,,beware if one has nail problems, could be a sign of psoriatic arthritis on its way,it can be reversed :)

Hi I’ve stared getting painful joints don’t know if it’s age related or p

What does PsA feel like for you? I have been having deep throbbing leg pain. If I cross my legs, my knee seizes up. Very tender. My physio therapy is more intense now, so possibly the reason? Am wondering is it mva related..or psa..a bit worried..

I read some articles on an anti inflammatory diet. I decided to give it a try to relieve some crippling foot and hand pain from p arthritis. It is a little over a week and I can notice the difference in my feet in particular.

Been taking meds for psoriatic arthritis since Jan and seems to be working but not much effect on psoriasis around eyes and ears, the only places I have it. Now dermatologist wants to do biopsy to see if they misdiagnosed. Any thoughts?

I just turned 49 last month. I was dx with psorasis & psoriatic arthritis in December of 2015 after being misdiagnosed with RA in 2007. I failed lots of medicines. I am now on a new medicine since March of 2017.

Hi everyone - I’m new here, but I’ve had psoriasis for a few years and was diagnosed with PSA last summer. Anyone else with PSA feel just generally achy all over?

Hi everyone. So nice to find this community:) I have psoriasis on my hole scalp since I was about 8 years old Have good and bad days. But just wanted to know does any get a lot of joint pain as well. Thanx

I can’t find a good rheumatologist to treat my psoriatic arthritis

Rheumatology appointment today. He shook his head at me when I mentioned diet and offered me drugs instead, which I refused. Next step: all joints checked with ultrasound.

I have psoriatic arthritis. In the past I trained for half marathons and took weight training classes 3 x week. Now I get tired quickly and feel drained after I workout. Besides yoga what other workouts do you do that do not drain your energy?

Feeling at my lowest and darkest, just been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, life is over, my job as scrub nurse is over, I hate this condition,
