Anyone the information on Psoriatic arthritis?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Would you please be more specific? I have it and am willing to input but need more information. TIA

My daughter has psoriatic arthritis. I can ask her about that treatment and see how well it’s working. Hope I can find out something and let you know.

My daughter gets an injection once a month. She suggested you talk to your rheumatologist. Everyone is different.

I have psoriatic arthritis and neuropathy as well. I have been using vitality frankincense balm
On my feet and knees. Helping but could use more help so I am trying Bosweilla capsules as it is used for inflammation. Just started so no report yet on that.
84 and not having a good time!

I honestly don’t know. That’s why it’s important to find out from your Rheumatologist. As I said everybody’s different.
Your doctor will know what is appropriate for you. I hope this helps.

What information doyou need? Psoariatic arthritis is part of the spondyloarthritis family and can actually present with or without psoriasis. Skin psoriasis (scalp, nails, plaques on elbows/knees, inverse psoriasis)

Nail disease (pitting, onycholysis, ridging)

DIP joint arthritis (distal finger joints near nails — uncommon in other SpA)

Asymmetrical arthritis (one knee, one wrist, etc.)

Dactylitis more common/severe

More erosive peripheral disease on imaging

Family history of psoriasis

There is a National Psoriasis Foundation website with good
basic information and much less industry bias and treatment hype.
Worth seeing a dermatologist in most cases for best management.
