Has psoriatic arthritis affected your life

[Caroline]

While I was first very sportive, I did long distance running, 3x week training, the Psoriatic Arthritis killed all that, which gave me quite a period of mourning. After that a search on what it could be, I had never heard of it, until finally the rheumatologist told me. Followed by the wrong medicine, MTX, and after leaving that with no options, a search for something that could work. The search led me through a number of obscure methods until I bumped into an internist (doctor for internal diseases) who said that he might have something. And yes that worked. I found another sport as the damage in my right foot blocked long distance running. So dancing and spinning replaced. I feel it was a rough change in my life that could have followed quite a different path.
