im 30 years old and ive been diagnose with Psoriatic Arthritis in my case the arthritis was first, then about 11/2 to 2 years came the psoriasis behind my right ear in the scalp area, im kind of glad that i now know what i have, but its so sad that there is no cure fo this, im now on LEFLUNOMIDE, FOR ABOUT 2 months, im just hoping that this treatment works good for me,.
Same here buddy… I live in the state of Michigan in the U.S. and our winters are nasty. 2 years ago, when I first showed symptoms, I had just done a cleansing diet really. I would eat nothing but organic foods, no sugar, water, no yeast….. and so on. It worked and I felt pretty good, but it’s extremely expensive to live like that. Other than that I havent had any other treatement. I don’t have health care at the momment.
Im 22 so i know where ya comin from mate. I got diagnosed in oct last yr but had symptoms since i was about 20.
I’d love to have a life free of pain from the arthritis.
It doesnt help with me living in England with a cold climate over winter.
What treatments have u tried?
I’m 23 and have been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis. I would cry for a day in joy and hug my doctor for a day if my pain can be relieved like hers.
