Does anyone know if medicine can help so one can live in a more humid area with Psoriatic Arthritis?
My husband was diagnosed with this a few weeks ago and we live up in Sequim, WA where it rains less, but still very damp. Does anyone know????
I suddenly developed swollen knees over the last 3 months – they have disabled me. I am 32. Can I take a job which requires constant walking? Or am I going to destroy the joints? The pain I can deal with.
at xmas i took really not well my back went then i felt pain in my finger joints and my knees i was totally freaked out went to the doctors he told me id be out of work for 3 months. Anyways i ended up being reffered to rhematology doctors who asked lots of past medical questions like do i get rashes in the sun i said well in the last few years i have been getting prickly heat and have become allergic to the sun and i also developed asthma over the past 2 years. He also told me that every year at winter i had attended the doctor who took blood test because i complain of the same thing in which i don’t remember prob cause the symptoms disappeared. He did blood test to test me for arthritis and xrays a mri on my back which showed 3 slipped disks and i am only 30, in the last 2 months i have developed psorisas on arms elbow and legs which i have never had in my life. The doc now says it could be psoratic arthiritis in which the tests have not showed but they said i should go back in a few months to get it checked. I am so worried and felling a bit low at the though of living my life like this can any1 give me any information. I am still in pain with my knees and back could it be somthing else.

Anything with repetetive motion causes an inflammatory response in connective tissue. Anti-inflammatory drugs aren’t strong enough to avoid it. Even walking more than a minimal amount will cause plantar faschitis. (sp?).
The drugs available (humera and embrel – once again, not sure about the spelling) cause nausea and a significant risk of lymphoma. This is unacceptable.
So, am I stuck? I refuse to take a drug so strong that it might kill me.
Everything I do causes pain. If I keep after it anyway, it gets so bad that I end up in physical therapy. I’m no weenie. I used to lift weights, run, cycle, kayak for hours at a time, and so on. I worked through pain. This is not the same.
If anyone has any helpful suggestions to maintaing a minimal level of fitness without screwing myself up so bad I can’t move, I’d appreciate it.
