Hello everyone, my name is Alex, and in the last couple of years I have developed psoratic arthritis, which affects my legs, ankles and feet mainly, never heard of this form before I developed it, and at the moment I am finding it difficult coping with it day to day, esp as I am awaiting a new treatment that has been delayed now for the past 4 months. Does anyone else here have this form if so may I ask how you cope?

Sorry you have PSA. I was sure it was starting about 5 years ago. This past month tests showed very crippling Psoaratic Arthritis. SO, I am taking a small dose sage of Methotrexate 12.5 mg one day a week. Last week my blood test Red Blood Quadrant count went from 91 in Last week of July to 2 this past Friday... Stuff works awesome, I have no stiffness like I was at 19, now 57. No fatigue, no swelling. I also take as needed Dexomethosone, a Steroid like Prednisone, used for MS, that gives me such energy I can work full-time as a Contractor... First line of DMARD used for PSA develop in 1947 approved for RA and Psoriasis and PSA in 1977.
