Wondering

Hello: I was happy to find this website as I'm new to the disease and trying hard to understand it.

I have been living with PsA since Dec 23, 2012 - not diagnosed until 5 months later. Currently I'm taking sulphasalazine and getting a bit more mobility - although the pain and inflammation is in different parts of my body, the worst is my legs and it's left me basically disabled. I have been able to counteract some of the side effects of SSZ with Wobenzym N - an all natural product available in good health food stores. I used to have a very upset stomach but it helps with that and supposedly the inflammation. I've also been using tinctures from a Chinese naturalpath which I'd be willing to share. I've written some of my story in a personal blog at http://cindoug.blogspot.ca/


My mother had bad psoriasis and an autoimmune condition but it went into remission and she's been okay since. What are the odds of this going into remission? FOr how long? I'm 52 and not ready to be compared to everyone's grandmother. I welcome your feedback.

Hi Coping-

I don't know about the statistic on PsA and P remission. I've had periods of time over the years when I have been symptom-free, the longest being about a 3 year stretch of time.

https://www.psoriasis.org/ might have some research studies available You can also reach out to them w/questions.
