Psoriatic arthritis

[cba84]

Recently been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and still waiting to be put on medication. Just wondering if anyone else gets lightheaded and tingling and numbness in their hands? Thanks in advanced.

Hi, The answer is yes, Did your Doctore tell you it is rare? Have you got Psoriasis, on your hands and feet? There are many forms of Psoriatic Arthritis, and it is a really painful one, I wake up cannot feel my hands, My feet do not work, and from what you tell me you are experiencing what I went through. Try and look for Clinical Trials, there are plenty out there to go on, who knows there may be a step closer to a cure.

I don't get lightheaded but I do have the tingling numbness in my hands when the pain subsides.....and was just told today by a Rheumy that rather than RA he thinks I might have Psoriatic arthritis. This has been horribly painful. I have felt like someone has taken a hammer to my knuckles. I have it in my hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, feet, ankles, one knee and one side of my jaw. This all seemed to start at once.
