Hi,
I'm from Cape Town, South Africa and am in my mid 50s. Have been diagnosed with PsA since 2020 but have had it probably since 2007 when it was first diagnosed as carpal tunneil syndrome. I've recently begun treatment with Humira after being on Methotrexate, Salazopyrin and anti-inflammatory pills. Unfortunately these caused my to develop Chronic Kidney Disease and Liver fibrosis, causing the need to switch. I am also on Prednisone, although my Rheumatologist wants to phase it out once the Humira is working effectively.
It's nice to find a forum where other people can share experiences so that I don't feel quite so alone in the struggle, thank you to the founders and members!
