Psoriatic arthritis is getting undiagnosed

[Quest4Cure]

But is it true that there is a vast amount of PsA after psoriasis?
That is a no isn't it?
Isn't it about max 20% or even less who get PSA ?

Still think it is smart of The derms to check for it. But.... It is not their thing, as they watch the skin, not the joints. They are limited by profession.

Well according to our own latest research in this page: https://psoriasisclub.org/whatispsoriasis.php Psoriasis affects around 1 in 50 people worldwide and around 20% of those will go on to have psoriatic arthritis.

So yes you are right it is low, but as an psoriatic arthritis person myself I wish it had been diagnosed earlier. And yes you are right a dermatologist is more interested in the skin, but here at least they are trialling joint consultations with a dermatologist and a rheumatologist at the same time. I have had one and it's been successfull, I have another in a months time and I must say it's a good step forward but I don't know if other countries are trying this.

It was not done when I went to the hospital, the rheumatologist knew what he was talking about, but had no clue of what to do next except for MTX.
Had to find out everything myself.  

My rheumy explained that Psoriatic arthritis is a type of inflammation that occurs in about 15% of patients who have psoriasis. This particular arthritis can affect any joint in the body, and symptoms vary from person to person. Some stages are finger nails lifting from the nail beds are obvious tale tale signs of this disease in hands fingers & toes, & sausage fingers and toes. I have two bionic hips from PSA.
