Putting on my mod hat here (and on all these meds, it will sounds a lot like it does when I put my Mama hat on) ...

Rebel mom,
Dealing with a diagnosis of PsA and all that entails is rough - and scary in the beginning. There are tons of warnings, guidelines, suggestions, options, preferences, etc. to sort through, and having a team of people on your side is important. Some find it helpful to know how PsA functions, how the drugs function, and all the specificities of PsA and its treatment. Some find it more helpful to follow the basic guidelines and go on with their lives. You need to find out what works for you. Most rheumatologists have nurses on call who can answer questions you might have. Enbrel has a program you can enroll in that will provide you with information, support, and a number to call with any questions or concerns. And this board is a wonderful place to connect with people who understand what you're going through and can offer support.
