Thank you for sharing your journey. I currently have psoriasis and am hoping I don't get struck with psoriatic arthritis. I'm not vlogging my journey but do have a blog at mewithpsoriasis(dot)com I hope to educate others about psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. I will share your videos as a good resource. Take care of yourself and I hope this comment finds you feeling better rather than worse. (((hugs)))

I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis about 3 years ago when I was 24. Like another comment stated, it advances fast. I have been on Methotrexate since diagnosis and it has really helped me. Its a hard drug to be on, but at least I am able to walk again!

I came down with the swelling in my fingers and toes about a year ago. Got mis-diagnosed, told me i had gout. Extreme pain, finally 4 doctors later they figured out i had sorriatic arthritis. Damage done, can no longer play guitar.The shots of humara work well, no pain in fingers, toes or hips. Some funky side effects though- mettalic taste in my mouth and nausea, feel spacy for a day or two after the shot. But it all goes away in a couple days. Definitely worth it to be able to walk again.

This disease advances fast. Been on arthrotec 7.5 for 5 months for this 2x per day. They take the edge off but its got some nasty side efffects. You gotta get this in its early stages.

[DibbersPage]

@sonnyreddevil69 It's good that you caught it early, treatments are more effective then, unfortunaltly for me i have the rare form which only 5% get, mine has deformed my bones and is very distructive, i'll keep my fingers crossed for ya fella. I've added you as a friend and subbed ya channel, so your comments wont need approving and you can contact me direct for any advise. Some of the drugs they will put you on will have side effects of some sor but your body dose get used to them.
