Nothing specific to the psoriatic arthritis has been brought up. I had a virtual appointment during covid with a dermatologist and the report was sent to my primary care doctor.
That included a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis.Withh topical meds I managed the psoriasis on scalp, ears and body and have maintained good results until about a week ago. The flare up is psoriatic arthritis primarily. I just don't want to have to start a new diagnosis and treatment. It just feels overwhelming. I want to thank you for the sites you recommend. I'm going to read them. You see I'm 81. Im diagnosed with PTSD, ADHD, major depressive disorder and anxiety. To add psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and new regimens is overwhelming.
Many thanks, Otto's nanny

I am 64 post head and neck cancer. 8.5 weeks of chemo/radiation has triggered plaque psoriasis (entire body) resulting in PA. I have a lot of collateral damage. I too have PTSD/Anxiety. If you are a veteran, the VA might be able to help. The VA has a few different studies ranging from HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy), microdosing MDMA, microdosing psilocybin with very promising results. The AMA and insurance makes HBOT almost impossible to get treatment or out of pocket is about $1000 per treatment and the total treatments are about 30. I feel for you brother, you are in my prayers.
