It's a pleasure Jim meeting you and others here. Sorry for the misunderstandings. Always happy to meet fellow survivors.
Just an addendum to my last post. I'm not at all opposed to prescribed medications, when I said I don't take any. It's just that they haven't been offered as yet, other than the DMARDs. I'm sure when my COPD progresses, I'll need help. And if my PsA becomes troublesome again, I will need to explore other options available. In which case, you guys here might be of great benefit to me.
Just wondering though, does the cold effect you guys as bad as it does me? We are having a heat wave in NYC right now, and I needed to turn on the AC. And noticed my joints are aching I'm a bit more.
Thanks.

Don't worry about misunderstandings we all have them trying to find what is and isn't acceptable
I've had psoriasis over 50 years but only recently been diagnosed with probably psoriatic arthritis, I am in discussion with my dermatologist as I want to increase my Fumaderm (DMF ) dose to see if that improves my joints ..but we are at an impass at the moment and the end of the month is the next round
So in answer to your question regarding does the cold affect us....for me it doesn't. although many here say the cold and damp has an adverse affect on the arthritis
We are praying for a heatwave here at the moment it's night time and 64f and daytime around 70 to 74 just looking at the forecast for my town
It's cool and damp not good for PsA

I'm glad you have a support team to monitor you
As another cancer survivor I wish you good health and good luck
I shall be mentioning LDN to my rheumatologist at the end of the month and see if she is aware of the benefits I may get from it
