Tiredness and psoriasis

[jiml]

I was under 50 for a lot of years until I couldn't get away with it anymore.
Hope you get an appointment with a proper dermatologist and get a diagnosis then perhaps you can start to enjoy life again

As for my age Jim, i lie about it all the time, have been going backwards since I reached 49 and that's a few years ago! Someone once told me that actually I need to start saying I'm older than I am, that way people will say, "really, you don't look it"! However I shall remain under 50 as long as I can get away with it!

The old saying your as old as you feel is good for me, Mrs Fred keeps reminding me I have the mind of a nine year old which is nice.

Hi Sandra,
Apart from a dermatologist, who aims at the skin, also a reumatologist shall have a view on PsA, as it is often classified close to rheumatic arthritis, though is something quite different.

Whilst I agree with you Caroline, I mentioned a dermatologist because Sandra is in the UK and as far as I know that is the department they would send her too.

Furthermore research shows that it does not help for PsA, I will check out where this research is.

These could be the ones you're thinking of:
Methotrexate not working for Synovitis in psoriatic arthritis
Methotrexate no better than Placebo for Psoriatic Arhtritis

As Jim and I both have PsA

I thought Jim only had psoriasis and not psoriatic arthritis.

Ah, that explains your behavior of some times.

It's the last one, but I read it somewhere else.

I keep mixing you two nine-year olds up.
