Welcome, Sharon!
We’re glad that you found us, but it’s a shame that you’re a member of the PsA club. You’re also the member of the “It’s been a long time coming” group. The thing is, once you have a diagnosis, you can start looking forward to feeling better, but it may take a while. Meanwhile, welcome to the gap (not a fun place to be, I might add).
One of the infuriating things about PsA is the skill (or lack of skill) that a lot of doctors display in diagnosing or assessing it. You’ve had a couple of rounds of experiencing this already. And while doctors fiddle, your joints can burn … mine did. Fortunately, I finally got to specialists who took aggressive action and got my situation under control. That turned my disease – and my life – around.
We’re here for mutual support, and it’s great that you’ve found us.
