I'm having a hard time with the psoriatic arthritis today (if that's really what it is...), damn knee won't stop throbbing. Might just be old age or a faulty knee, but because my psoriasis is so bad, the doc thinks it MAY be psoriatic arthritis. Great, now I get to have both!
Anyway, here's the website that a friend forwarded to me today. I had not seen it myself. < we have a no-link policy >
Of course, the only REAL positive and helpful site of LASTING value, is right here, folks! Step right in!!!! (And thanks to all of you that talk and listen and post and reply and help and encourage and make others laugh...)
I don't often have time to get online, but I must admit that I do love THIS site...the psoriasis club!
Kersty,
I understand your willingness to give a link to a seemingly sensible site, but we have a no link policy. So please don't do that. You can always describe how to find the site in google or write a Private Message to the ones who request for the site.
I took a look at it and it looks very comprehensive though it already starts wrong "Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disorder...." .
- it is not common, and
- it is no skin disorder but an auto immune disease.
It mentions a lot, but the section on DMF is far too small and limited. In terms of numbers it is an "F".
Certainly overall it is informative.
The copyright section is idiotic. It states that nothing may be copied from this site, only after requesting admission, while all that is on the site is free information findable everywhere on the internet only scattered around. So their claim is invalid.
Conclusion: a strange site made by non-sufferers.
And of course I agree with you on PsoriasisClub, nothing better than this site !!
Indeed your knee might be an indication of PsA. Normally PsA is findable in the smaller joints, like your fingers and your toes, but it may extend to the bigger joints. Seldomly it starts in the bigger joints, so it still may be something else.
