Hi lyah, sorry to hear about your diagnosis I’m guessing its good to have an answer though? Welcome to our group!! There are lots of awesome people here with lots of experience and advice to offer you, so you have come to the right place. I know this from experience as I was diagnosed just recently myself, a couple of months ago. Were you diagnosed by a rheumatologist? What current meds are you on? What do they suggest for your treatment? Good luck with everything, talk to you soon hopefully

Hello!! Sorry you need to be here. But glad you found us.People here are so awesome. I am sure you will meet some great people and make awesome friends. I would say to read some old and new discussions. There is so much I myself am still learning. Once I started learning I felt more empowered. The more in control I started to feel the less fearful I became. If I can be of any help please feel free to ask. I look forward to getting to know you better.
Thank you lady's :) yes i have seen the specialist she is a very nice lady my dermatologist put me on Methatrexate an Im already on 800 mg ib. my specialist said that she would talk to me next visit after blood work and other test about more pain management
Hi, Welcome. I am sorry about your diagnosis. I was diagnosed last year but have had the issues for a lot longer.
I would suggest you trust your instincts and ask the doc lots of questions so you can understand what going on. I know for me, when the doc told me I had PsA, I really had no idea what to expect. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
Myself, I'm still working on finding my "happy place" as far as treatment is concerned. Typing is really tough for me lately.
I hope you doc finds what works for you quickly and easily.
This is a great group. It's helped me a lot having others to talk to and knowing they understand.
Good Luck at your appointment
thank you Dini :)
