I'm obviously new to this interesting forum.
I've had mild psoriasis for over 30 years.
I got mild PsA 5 years ago but has got worse lately.
I have just started methotrexate last week.
After reading some other posts I don't think I have to much to worry about.
My psoriasis is mild but the PsA is really starting to affect my work (I'm a tradesman with lots of lifting).
Good luck to everyone looking for a pain free life.
Is anyone out there from New Zealand?
Welcome to the P. Club. What u wrote could be my P. Description. PSA IS nasty when u use UR hands for a living. It hasn't stopped me, just slowed me a little. I have adjusted to doing what I need to do in slightly different ways by being mindful of each task. A good bio with MTX thEre R MANY ONLINE ASK UR DOC can help stop the damage from PSA.
I still do everything even open those darn bottle screw caps. ASk UR doc for PT to keep UR hands strengthened. Bone damgage is our biggest hurdle. Keeping track , x -rays , heat treatments, meds and up to date info can keep u on top on UR game.
