Thank you.
I googled reactive arthritis and it doesn’t seem to be that. I’ve actually googled everything and the only thing that fits is PR.
I’ve never had psoriasis either.
I have 3 siblings and the older one has no diagnosis but same symptoms and the younger one -50 yrs is having symptoms start.
It started with shoulder pain and not being able to lift them up to hang out washing for example.
Surely X-rays or CT or similar can show where the inflammation is to help diagnose.
Isn’t psoriatic treated with same drugs as RA? Like Humira and Enbrel usually as entry biologic? although some insurance companies want you to step up to biologics after a trial
Of methotrexate or hydroxychloroquine?
