Guest guest Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hi Clora...I have Psoriatic Arthritis...actually the doctors have gone back and forth with me on several diagnoses including PsA. Their most recent consensus is an overlap between PsA and RA. I do have yucky psoriasis, but the pattern of joint involvement more closely aligns with RA. Cheryle (AKA Tess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Clora, I'm sorry that you're having such a hard time and have another diagnosis to add to your list. I hope that you find a doctor that will be able to find the right combination of meds to help relieve your symptoms. Do drop in more often; we miss you when you don't. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Sue and group. Thanks for the warm welcome back. Yes the list got longer. It seems like with every condition, there is a list of conditions to go with it. . eg; Ir ratable bile syndrome, headaches, and so on, goes with a lot of conditions.

Every drug I've been put on scares me, but the progression of RA scares me more. Methotrexate made me sick and confused every week for at least two days. Arava made my hair fall out and wasn't much better. I don't get noticeable side effect with Remicade -- just remission from the effects of RA for now. dd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
