Psoriasis arthritis

By laurel

1 min read

I hope someone out there can help me, a couple of years ago I was diagnosed with psoriasis. I went to my dermatologist, had the biopsy, and was diagnosed. My life has been like a roller coaster only now it seems like I have arthritis. I cry both day and night and pray to God to help me, I can barely walk now, is there any inflammatory pill I can take?

Hi <inline-mention user-id="3354022" username="laurel"/> , thank you for reaching out. I am so sad to hear that you are struggling so much right now. Please know that we're here anytime you need support. Have you been able to chat to a rheumatologist (or even your dermatologist) about your symptoms? We're not able to offer medical advice, for your safety, but our sister site does have some information on treatments for psoriatic arthritis: <a href='https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/treatment/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/treatment/</a> Psoriatic arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis which up to 40% of people with psoriasis will go on to develop. As I mentioned before, it's important to speak to a medical professional regarding diagnosis and treatment (if you haven't done so already). If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. Sending very gentle hugs your way. -Catherine, Community Moderator
