Are there tests for psoriatic arthritis?

[jiml]

I look forward to any comments

Does that mean without the DMF Gang jumping down my throat.  

First off Well done for not going back on Methotrexate. I do wish these people would get over the old days of throwing poison at people with psoriasis. Yes it can work but 8/10 times it just makes people feel worse than they did with the psoriasis and they end up giving up and don't go back.  

Next I think you know my next answer. I'm still not convinced that Fumaderm is good enough for treating psoriatic arthritis. I don't know about Caroline's Psorinovo or Bills Pure DMF and I'm only going by my own research from when I considered using Fumaderm. My conclusions were that there just didn't seem to be enough evidence from studies and people I know that have used it that it would help me any better than the Bio's.

We all get pationate about a treatment that works for us. I'm the same with Stelara and want to hang onto it as long as I can, but some say it doesn't help psoriatic arthritis. Whilst I agree it's not as good as the others it's been the best for me as an all round treatment. I don't want to stop using it, but I'm now considering Cosentyx as I do think our bodies get used to one treatment and they stop being so effective.

You asked for comments, I'll go now before the rest of the DMF Gang arrive.  

I won't jump down you throat I welcome all comments and will dismiss consider them all  

I have been looking all over for "evidence" that Fumaderm will work for PsA but so far have been unable to find anyone on the drug who has the disease, I don't understand any of the German literature I have seen but will keep looking.
I personally believe my arthritis would be much worse without Fumaderm ... But it's difficult to prove  

I will not dismiss bio drugs although they do tend to scare me more than Fumaderm as I say I'm open to all suggestions and I have till July until I see the rheumatologist again, and I think I can persuade my dermatologist that my plan of action is right for the time being

If anyone shoots you down Fred I will give them a good
