Living Well with Psoriatic Arthritis 

Phenomenal presentation. This was excellent, thank you!

The most informative video I've seen yet. 👍

I have gout for 15 years I'm 37. Just diagnosed with this. Tendons in the feet and ankles has to be the worst. Immoblizing me and the Dr's were treating me for gout even though I've been on gout meds and the uric acid levels are good. I noticed the rash on my face, little spots size of a dime. Nails on toe have some separation. Hope the humira works. Thanks for the video dr.

Woke up with mine, too, but it lasted several days , has always stayed a little swollen, now flares episodically the last 3 years, as do most of my fingers’ dips and pips, at various times and degrees , but all dips and pips are getting a little swollen and Blanche when i bend them. Stiff with various tenderness. Just started methotrexate: i worry I’m too late . Have an xray erosion already on the first finger that first flared 3 yrs ago (and 7 times since !) also have enthesitis in multiple areas including c7-t3, pelvic rim insertions, elbow, wrist, peroneal tendons. Greater trochanter bursa or tendon once. Very mild elbow plaques since 2017. That rash Rarely flares. I need to be thankful for that! Fatigue . I could sleep a week, but know I’d be stiff waking up! Sulfasalazine actually helped . But then developed a rash and fever and 5 day horrible headache on it , so had to stop it.

Very helpful presentation. Thank you!

Excellent presentation. Thank you. An awful and painful disease.

Dr Zaider good info. I have many symptoms except nails. Taking cocentryx 4ys. Have lupus DSDNA @9 negative ANA? Took many years to get diagnosed. Have severe plaque psoriasis started lower back. L Leg felt like tissue tearing off thigh bone. Difficult to walk. Make sense to me now that you explained tendons involvement. Really appreciate confirming the signs and symptoms for me and people don't believe what they can't see my med keeps it controlled but still have some sores on scalp and arms. Can't walk w/o meds or move. Sitting too long I get stiff/stuck also. Can't walk/stand w/o severe pain in back/legs for very long. Thank you

And I notice no mention of hormone related to cause🤔 I was pre pubescent psoriasis and I’ve experienced what I believe to be flare ups since menopause.

one thing i learned is that either inside or outside the body this disease gets use to recent drug. so found that changes of meds at times is a huge help.

Mine first showed up in my hands but when x-rayed they found it was in my hips and feet as well, but my Rheumatologist has failed to identify whether it's seronegative RA or Psoriatic . My back gets stiff but he says that doesn't show anything on X-ray. I do get rashes but I'm not sure whether it's Psoriasis because it's not really silvery but raised and slightly red under and around my ears on the side of my face and neck. I did used to get a greasy rash on my scalp that could scrape off until I started washing my hair with Dawn which worked better than medicated shampoo. My rheumatologist does not seem to recognize anything but the joint symptoms.

Great presentation.

Vitd3 50k with vitk2 600mcg once a day, 26mg zinc should help many people , lower inflammation and pain.

Taking Inessa Advanced Daily Biotic Lactobacillus Rhamnosus on an empty stomach (refrain from eating for 20 plus minutes) has improved both my 60-year-old stubborn psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, 98 percent cleared after taking daily for a year! Pain in my joints has been reduced from an 8 to 1. Low carb expedites clearing both but to avoid gout and keto flu, I drink lemon water and eat a few berries. I believe it is caused by poor gut health allowing candida to grow. All have candida to aid in digestion and Rhamnosus is the probiotic that restrains.

This was so much help.

Do you give omega 3 acid ethyl esters for this?

Will PSA cause damage to the nerves, and as such be detected via nerve conductivity study?

What type of bloodwork will detect PSA ?

Enthesitis is killing me. Deep in a flare , ankles , shoulders , elbows, high hamstring. Celebrex just isnt cutting it anymore.

I live in Canada and can’t find a doctor like you who knows PSA well and some think I don’t have it because I don’t have psoriasis but my thumb nails are affected. So frustrating. Do you know anyone near Ottawa, ON who is really good at PSA as my original doctor retired this past year.

I believe I may have been wrongly diagnosed with osteoarthritis by way of X-ray. How can radiology know which type without knowing your history? Should that rally happen without conversation with the patient🤷‍♀️

Can PSA cause drop foot, or a loss of knee jerk reflex?

I guess I’m poly.. I was calling it the “all of the above” version.. The only thing I haven’t experienced is deformities, because I think I was diagnosed and treated quickly, and the meds work really well for me, so far.. But yeah, even both sides are f my jaw locked up at one point!.. Smh..

Mine has started in my big to and my knee's.and my head.

Is dactylitis permanent or does the swelling come and go with flare ups?

Castor oil.

What good are new treatments when you can't afford the price of the drug. Cosentx $6000.00 a month. Medicare Part D co-pay $1,900.

Wow for once I got to hear someone with a medical degree validate my impressions having PsA 😂

I appreciate everything that you are doing BUT if you say Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa One more time IM Going to jump out this window thank you very much

Between the A H…….. and the teeth smacking I couldn’t get into this video
