Psoriatic Arthritis and Psoriasis

[TheMifflinDunder]

So, tell me how a butter cream works within the human body to stop joint inflamation. This video is about joints effected by psoriasis not the skin it self.

When I was 14, my pediatrician said my joint pain was "growing pains". Soon after that I saw a rheumatologist and it is psoriatic arthritis. Now I'm 23, and my life is like hell. Going to a new doctor next week in hopes of help!

My Doc was well on the ball, i went to see him about a new script for my Psoriasis as i had a new attack after being clear for a few years, i mentioned id been getting lots of pain in my joints, he looked at my fingernails, gave me a telling off for not saying anything about my fingers & toes being deformed sooner, then said i had chronic Psoriatic Arthritis. I had loads of tests & been told i have the less common deforming type, i am on so many meds my medical cabinet looks like a chemist shop

I was just diagnosed with psoriatic Arthritis,,,,i put up with this pain for 1 yr and was on many different anti inflamminatory ,,,,i have a job where i am on my feet alot and i just couldnt walk anymore,,,,i went to my doctor again and finally got the diagnosis, ,,,but first have to have blood work & xrays done and once they get the results will start me on the treatment called Methotrexate....this is suppose to cure the inflammation and cure my psoriasis...thank god

[DibbersPage]

@telva05 Methotrexate is a powerful drug and used to treat some forms of cancer, make sure you follow to the letter what you chemist or doctor tells you, be aware that if you are on Methotrexate you wont be able to take some types of anti inflammatory drugs.

@telva05 how are you doin now? I'm having similar actually exactly the same problems. And did you have psoriasis?

[AndrewKFletcher]

Google inclined bed therapy and psoriatic arthritis. You may be surprised to know that something as simple as raising the head of the bed helps to significantly improve both the arthritic condition and the skin conditions.

im 30 years old and ive been diagnose with Psoriatic Arthritis in my case the arthritis was first, then about 11/2 to 2 years came the psoriasis behind my right ear in the scalp area, im kind of glad that i now know what i have, but its so sad that there is no cure fo this, im now on LEFLUNOMIDE, FOR ABOUT 2 months, im just hoping that this treatment works good for me,.

Same here buddy... I live in the state of Michigan in the U.S. and our winters are nasty. 2 years ago, when I first showed symptoms, I had just done a cleansing diet really. I would eat nothing but organic foods, no sugar, water, no yeast..... and so on. It worked and I felt pretty good, but it's extremely expensive to live like that. Other than that I havent had any other treatement. I don't have health care at the momment.

[BJHuff04]

I'm 23 and have been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. I would cry for a day in joy and hug my doctor for a day if my pain can be relieved like hers.

Im 22 so i know where ya comin from mate. I got diagnosed in oct last yr but had symptoms since i was about 20.

I'd love to have a life free of pain from the arthritis.

It doesnt help with me living in England with a cold climate over winter.

What treatments have u tried?
