Hello Rosie,
Nice to meet you and a warm welcome to Psoriasisclub. It's good being here, I have found out myself.
You have quite some problems, when I read through your mail.
Of course we all are no doctors, but on the other side we all have our experiences with Psoriasis or Psoriatic Arthritis.
Your story puts at least me on the track of both, as you speak about stiffness. Though to my own experience, paresthesias and exshaustion, do not belong neither to Psoriasis, neither to PsA. But... that is only my own experience.
Stiffness ánd painsensations in the joints of your fingers and feet, not elsewhere, may point to PsA. The other spots, elbows, ears, hairline do point to Psoriasis.
But I read that you have all kind of other complaints. If you did not do it yet, please ask the Rheumatologist if she will check for Lyme's disease.
Furthermore it is very difficult to diagnose Psoriasis or PsA, there are no things that can be measured in your blood or so.
Good luck at your visit to the Rheumotologist, I think it is the best place to be with your psoriasis.
