Just saying hi as I've just joined.
I have has PSA for a number of years now, I take naproxen for the pain and sulphasalazine.. but seeing the specialist in 2 weeks for review and maybe changing to methotrexate.
Looking forward to chatting to you all
Chris
Hi Chris and a big to the club, I'm glad you found your way here, and I hope you will enjoy meeting the members, Sorry to hear you are suffering with psoriatic arthritis, I guess the sulfasalazine is failing you and they are moving you on, Methotrexate does tend to work well on the arthritis, but many get difficult side effects ( not everyone) but I did, I know these days they offer injections on it so it may be what you will get
You will probably have to fail on Methotrexate before they consider anything else, I hope it works well for you and gives you relief
As Caroline has said have a good look around the forum and see what others are using , we are a very friendly club and are happy to answer any questions you may have, or if you can't find something just shout .....I hope you will join us in the off topic section some time where we talk about anything but psoriasis
