Just got diagnosed a few days ago. I have had the symptoms since I was in middle school. Over 10 years of progressing joint pain, and psoriasis patch on my knee. I've been to so many doctors and all of them said nothing was wrong. The joint pain was in my head, and i just needed to rest more. Finally found a doc who knew what the problem was right away. Better late than never I suppose. If you're a doctor reading this... please don't tell a 12 year old joint pain is normal and to take it easy. 😐
21 now and the doctors expect me to have some kind of arthritis. I’ve had this patch on my scalp for over 4 years now and I’m actually quite pissed that my GP never thought it might be psoriasis. Could’ve prepared me for what is to come now. Also had swelling in my knee for over 2 years. Same GP said she didn’t know what it could be and maybe I should just try a physiotherapist, see what that does. I barely have any faith in the health system anymore.
Took Dr's 16 years to diagnose my brother with Psoriasis in his finger nails (was told it was a fungal infection prior to final diagnosis). He now has both psoriatic and osteo Arthritis in his hands.
Arthritis is VERY uncommon in someone not even a teenager. I had psoriasis since I was a teen, and only developed Arthritis a year or 2 ago and I'm in my 30s. But hey, everyone is different and hope your better
I've had this for 21 years. Been through hell and back trying every drug known to man. Through desperation I turned to diet and have pretty much cured it and live a drug free life with barely any discomfort. I removed all grains from my diet and processed foods, sugar dairy. Spent 6 months just eating meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. No bread, wheat, rice, oats, cakes, pies, pizza's, etc. It was tough but truly life changing. I was on 20mg of Prednisolone a day just to get out of bed. Now I'm drug free, no pain, no stiffness. Good luck to those of you suffering with this awful disease
praise the LOrd you posted this thank you!!! I do also think specific diet would help. of course may the ord heal youin the nam eof the Lord Jesus Christ
Extremely interesting. I have had this disease for over 20 years and have learned more from this lecture than from all the doctors I have seen. Thank you
Always had psoriasis through my life then bam woke up one Sunday swollen in my ankles fingers elbows and neck knees never realised how stiff your entire body can be all the different medications don’t worry could no longer work because sitting or standing for to long isn’t possible 32 years old 4 children to support can’t believe how your life can just change , stay strong everyone who suffers join groups and have people to vent with and too it’s something you have to have to understand
I've had this for over a year now, I've tried different medication, but non worked for me,I was on RUclips when I came across a testifier,I decided to check it out,u recommended treatment from Dr Obinyan on RUclips,to my greatest surprise it worked perfectly,with no side effect💯🙏🙏💚
I didn't develop arthritis but since giving up wheat and sugar I haven't had any outbreaks of psoriasis for a year. Give it a go. You have nothing to lose..
I have been very lucky. My psoriatic arthritis effected my hands, feet, neck and back. I no longer have any symptoms,pain or skin conditions . I had to completely change my diet and no longer eat gluten or sugar ever and only eat dairy occasionally as a fat. Its been interesting learning how to bake without wheat , dairy or sugar. My 50 years of processed food fun are over.
I've had it for about forty years but when I inquired none of the physicians I talked to recognized it in a relatively mild form. Until a Radiologist friend instantly told me about it and I sought treatment from a local dermitoligist and Rheumatoligist who have helped me control both. It comes and goes and is never ending.
I was diagnosed with PsA two and a half years ago. Everything in this video is spot on. About ten years ago started developing a "chronic dandruff" that was not treatable by shampoos. That was scalp psoriasis. Around five years ago started having stiffness in hands. Have had plantar fasciaitus in the past as well. Then I was getting the fingernail separation, thought was simply a fungus - not. For decades had an on and off painful butt crack inflammation. Up to now, never complained to PCP. Then things got serious... Got one "sausage" toe, then a second one. Thumb started to have a growth/bump on first knuckle. That was bone degeneration. Thighs would ache getting up after sitting down "too long" in one position. Hips would hurt from lying in bed. My feet were a chronic source of pain and discomfort when walking - heel, sole, toes. Fast forward to two years ago. Humira cleared up all of my pain symptoms within a couple months of treatment. Today, no more scalp issue. No sausage toes/digits or nail issues. I still have bump on thumb since bone damage is not reversible. Most importantly, arthritis has essentially gone into remission. Some minor skin plaque psoriasis has broken through on lower legs, but this is better than PsA. I hate to sound like a cheerleader for drugs, but Humira (adalimumab) was a game changer.
Oml I need a drug like this. It's taken 8 years and was diagnosed today, finally. 8 years of so much pain. I'm hoping that the rheumy will be willing to give me biologics or dmards. I want my life back.
@@mumsie8578 I suffer from it also for 3 yrs and I was able to get rid of mine permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on RUclips you can contact him also he can help you❤
Interesting I’ve had it for 3 years now and have been on Cosentyx which was also game changing for me. My symptoms were exactly like yours scalp psoriasis then I got it on my back my face my hands and arms and legs it was so painful to shower it felt like acid was pouring on me all the time then I got to see a dermatologist before seeing a rheumatologist he put me on Cosentyx then when I went to rheumatologist he said if you would of saw me first it would of took years before getting on a biologic drug anyway 3 years my joint pain is worse than ever my psoriasis is starting to come back on my scalp and legs and now I’m wondering what to do now that my once called game changing drug has stopped?
I will pray for my healing as yours. Legit sounded like you're describing myself in your comment. I now have sausage toes and fingers...my 1 thumb joint is constantly 2 times bigger than other thumb and hurts all the time, feet hurt so bad. My knees get it, my calf muscles after walking dog. The nail pitting, the scales..I'm only 34 and fear I have a severe case. I see rheumatologist for first time next week.
I am a patient of psoriatic arthritis, diagnosed at 18, in pain since early teens. My arthritis is severe, at age 22 and 23 i had my right then left wrist fusion surgeries. It continues to advance in my finger joints as well as my feet. My pinky toes are considered permenentLy fractured off as the bones have completely eroded away. I have been on anti TNF drugs since 2 years into my treatment. Etanercept worked for 10 years and then i was no longer receptive to it. Im working to find another consistent treatment but i am now on my 5th alternate biologic having failed the previous ones. This disease is horrible and devastating to its patients. Especially those with a more severe form. Thank you for the information you provided in this video, very consise but very complete. A good guide to understanding how it works
Very informative and easy to understand. I have repeatedly been misdiagnosed, through research like this site I realized why I kept getting swollen joints. Drs kept saying osteoarthritis, finally I have found a physio who agreed PA is the problem. This is great, it explained everything so well I have a much better understanding of this disease now. Thank you!
The most modern classification is the CASPAR CRITERIA (2006) The entry criteria is inflammatory articulate disease of joint, spine or entheses. It is a scoring system that takes in consideration 5 things: 1. Psoriasis - 2pts current psoriasis - 1pt personal or family history 2. Nail dystrophy - 1pt (must be current. Onycholysis, pitting or hyperkeratosis) 3. Negative RF - 1pt 4. Dactilytis - 1pt (current or personal history) 5. Juxta-articular bone formation on hand/feet x-ray - 1pt Final score = or > 3 points, it is positive for psoriac arthritis. The specificity is 98,7% and the sensitivity is 91,4% :)
Thanks I am not a medical student but a medical interpreter. I like to learn everything because every day I get to deal with a new case in any department . Thanks
Psoriatic Arthritis - I'm on Biologics - Simponi - golimumab Injections. (They were a game changer for me) Psoriasis 3-4 weeks of Sun Sun Sun for Psoriasis, Buy an aloe vera plant use the gel inside the leaf on your psoriasis. Go and have some complimentary therapies such as Reflexology to help balance the body.

This was very helpful and I learned more by watching this video than listening to a Doctor ! I control my Psoriatic with a special diet! No Alcohol, sugar, wheat, certain Dairy products, I only use butter, lard, olive oil or Coca nut oil. No potatoes or rice/Pasta, wheat products! 🥰
I'm a person with Psoriasis and this really helped me get more educated about something that could possibly effect me in the future. Its all really well put, especially for someone who isn't super versed in medical stuff like me
I now have the arthritis link to psoriasis. My best advise is take care of your general health. Eat healthy, exercice and all. It will greatly help. Don't do what I did XD.
I've had excruciating neck fracture pain go away while reading the bible out loud one day. My bones, joints and whole body felt very much stronger too so definately do so every day for a few minutes or more. I believe it can heal anything.
Request a rheumatologist review NOW! They will x ray your hands and feet as this is the first indicator of psoriatic arthritis. Disease modification drugs and biological drugs taken early will prevent deformed joints and a hell of a lot of pain. DONT wait with your fingers crossed go find out immediately how at risk you are x rays pick up very early changes if they exist. Good luck
Great video. I have learnt more in 9mins than I have in 12yrs of managing my PA. plantar fasciitis last winter did not know it was linked to PA. thanks again.
Reynard’s syndrome is also very much part of the parcel so look that up. I was offered biological drugs 20+ years ago when in my 20s but refused them after reading the drug information leaflet. Boy was I wrong! 8 years ago out of sheer desperation and immense pain I accepted Methotrexate, a chemotherapy drug which suppresses your heightened immune system. Best move I’ve ever made 👍. I’m 50 and this is the first time since aged 8 I’ve had normal skin 😀 my severe joint pain has lessened, I’m able to live a more normal life in the knowledge that my joints won’t now deform as quickly as they were. I still have flare ups but on a whole much better. Even looking more normal is a huge bonus I didn’t realise how affected I was by my appearance and gait due to pain. Couldn’t hill walk or run a marathon but generally way better, it’s a miracle drug. Good luck and be good to yourself xxx
@@Diana-tf5xq thank you for sharing your experience! yes, I do worry about joint damage too! I’ve been lucky that I’ve changed my diet (eliminated most of the usual bad suspects) and have been working on restoring the gut microbiome so that I haven’t had to resort to medications yet. Fingers crossed that that continues to work!
Got diagnosed in my 20s, female now mid 30s. No skin psoriasis but I have nail pitting. Been through every biologic and MTX. Humira and Orencia both sent me into remission. Changed diet, lost weight, very few flares. Sugar seems to increase inflammation and cause a flare.
Diagnosed in my 40s now in my 50s. Also no skin psoriasis but horrible nail pitting. Humira seemed to help but now seems to be no longer working. I've lost 90 pounds this year and eliminated sugar, gluten and alcohol. I'm not pain-free but definitely better! Controlling inflammation is key. Good luck to you!
Thanks for sharing. I'll try controlling my sugar intake. I've had a good few weeks but keep having to pause my methotrexate because of high liver enzymes. Combo of adalimumab and mtx seem to work well at the moment.
Dr Osoria is great, He has been very attentive to my health issues. I have had complicated health problems and he has addressed them all. He is very kind and patient. I am very grateful for him.
I’m 14 and was just diagnosed with psoriasis by my dermatologist. He also believes it’s causing psoriatic arthritis because I experience occasional joint pain in my knees and ankles, and consistent joint pain in my elbow. Though, he is not 100% positive its psoriatic arthritis as I am still growing and it could potentially be growing pains. Hopefully it is just some growing pains. I am going to a rheumatologist soon to see what they think.
I've had excruciating neck fracture pain go away while I was reading the bible out loud one day. My bones ,joints and everything felt very much stronger too so definately do it every day for a few minutes or more. I believe it can heal anything.
Good luck and prayers for you! Read the other comments about diet. Get rid of sugar, grains, processed food, dairy….etc. if you don’t want to live on drugs. Look into it now because you are so young to be on strong drugs for life, good luck!🍀
Was diagnosed at 13, now im 20 and im doing well (except for my right thumb which has severe laxity and is in a splint 24/7). I miss small joys like drawing without pain, being able to open a bottle on my own, or heavy lifting - yet im also so greatful for my doctors and nurses who took care of me. Back then I could barely walk, a wheelchair wouldn't work unless someone else was pushing me as my hands were in pain too. Now I look like a regular person (on the outside at least)
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about cure rheumatoid arthritis naturally try Magonsi Home Joints Expert (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my neighbor got excellent results with it. 🤩
Excellent Video! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Dinanlinson Infection Defence Approach (probably on Google)? It is a great one off product for discovering how to heal psoriasis without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy after many years got astronomical results with it.
Excellent Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Cenayden Stupendous Cure (should be on google have a look)? It is a great exclusive guide for pushing down your worrying cholesterol level without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend Sam at last got great success with it.
I don't know what's better, the clear excellent information presented in this video OR the lack of spam in the comments about some miracle cure testimony scam. Bookmarking this to help me take notes to better discuss issues with my doctors.
Thanks! Glad it helped. Unfortunately as the view number go up the spam starts to appear, but there doesn't seem much that can be done about that. Take care
@@ZeroToFinals I asked a guy a question about a treatment he suggested in the comment section. He came to my channel and left me a comment in the one video I have posted telling me that they told him to write that. I have no idea who "they" are though.

Iam female and got skin psoriasis at 16, came and went .Sometimes worse than others.Then after menopause got arthritis.Mainly right side.Foot , hand and lower back. Agains sometimes not bad then a flare up. manage it with cod liver , high dose vit d , good diet ,light exercise.and bile salts. Never needed big pharma products and I am a pharmacist!!!
Thank you so much this really helped the last time I saw Rheumatology it had only just started psoriasis has come on so quick after having a ACDF cervical spine. I have nerve damage too from being left to long but now this is what it’s pointing too Neurologist has written this too so finally referred. Tendinitis in my fingers which are all cramping up. I am prone to bone spurs too. I read a comment about changing our diet which I agree with but I am a vegetarian so it’s becoming so hard for me. I am 53 years old ☺️ Thank you again 👌👏👏
I am vegetarian too. It very hard to reduce grain from my diet. I might go to any dietitian this month or next. Please let me know if any diet help you.
I'm going through the same thing! My first acdf was 10 years ago at age 34. Followed by a 4 level pcdf the next year. All of my complaints have been blamed on my cervical myelopathy but now I'm presenting with rashes, plaque psoriasis on my scalp and nail psoriasis. Ironically.... My father and sister both have severe plaque psoriasis that I do report in my family history... But not one doctor or specialist has made the connection. I just figured it out and requested referral to rheumatology and dermatology. I've been feeling fatigued and sick for over 10 years now
I have lupus and RA arthritis all over my body but the hardest to deal with is my hands and feet the rest I’ve gotten used to the pain but my hands are swollen all the time and I have degenerative disk disease so walking isn’t easy anymore. I find your videos very helpful. I’ve had Imuran and methotrexate and my body didn’t cope with either . Anyway thank you xox
Please, Im no doctor but read into how diet can help you with your health, many tips are within the comments. All bits help, it costs nothing more than buying this products and can only give positive results. By all means not saying to drop your medication and ignore your doctor, but just look into it to change your diet to see if you can get better and maybe in agreement with your doctor, even lower the doses. Our food has been messed with to both make people crave for more and to keep people depending on medication. Lupus is a disease that has gone rampant only recently, one can wonder why? They tell you its better diagnostics but is it? Lots of food can cause your symptoms, like tomatos and bell peppers in some people make inflammation go through the roof, while beans will sooth your pains as it levels your blood sugar. Let food be thy medicine.
Really interesting and clearly put together. If this is helpful to future doctors I can share - My skin psoriasis cleared up (I think my Colladeen visage tablets have helped with this) but my back fused at the lower vertebrae and I have suffered back pain for a long time (comes and goes and often travels into my legs.) no-one from a medical background has ever asked me to do a checklist for arthritis. When I was told about the psoriasis diagnosis it was with a shrug of the shoulders. i heard about the link to spondylitis from a neighbour and had this checked out but ok so far. I also have dry eyes (I went through a phase of repeated iritis) . Not much seems known about psoriasis but inflammatory conditions do seem to be a big problem for many people. Good luck to your studies. Doctors are doing a wonderful service and those that do so with a smile and noticeably caring attitude (which can be hard when overworked) are even more special. I enjoy watching ‘GP’s behind closed doors’ on the tv - spotting signs and symptoms is important for us all!
I have psoriatic arthritis for 15 years now, been a painful beginning ehen i was first diagnosed, been treated as chronic with methotrexate as the main treatment.
My psoriatic arthritis started about 3 years after my psoriasis started. I had been on a huge dose of steroid for hives. That what woke up my psoriasis.
I’m taking a JAK inhibitor for my PsA called Xeljanz. Got sick of being guinea pigged on DMARDs and TNF biologics, so my rheumy and I decided to give this a shot. Seems to be helping, thus far, and my hair isn’t falling out, anymore. 😁 Plus, taking a pill is sooooo much nicer than giving oneself a shot!!
I witnessed and feared not being able to feed myself in my old age since I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, until I discovered INESSA Advanced Daily Biotic, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, my pain and swelling has improved drastically from an 8 to 0 in some joints and a 2 in only 1 remaining joint.
I was diagnosed with Psoriasis at 12... And with Psoriatic Arthritis in my knees at 48. Going again for issues with my hands, namely my thumbs and baby fingers. Btw I am currently 53.
Oh Snap! I have psoriasis. Now I understand why I had plantar fasciitis pain too. I was put on Skyrizi for my plaque psoriasis. It worked and gave me clearer skin. I also noticed my plantar fasciitis pain disappeared after I was put on Skyrizi. I just thought it was a positive side effect of the medication.
Do you know what exactly your skyrizi is targeting? Is it a new drug out there? (I have both, have not found anything that works, am quite low weight, so the typical 'shot' of a Humira etc doesn't seem 'weight appropriate'/very scary.
@@eugeniebreida1583 Humira (adalimumab) is an il-17 inhibitor. It targets interleukin-17. While Skyrizi ( risankizumab-rzaa) targets interleukin-23 (IL-23). Both of these are Monoclonal Antibodies medications. Talk to a Dermatologist to see what type of medication therapy works best for you. Your doctor will tell you which medication is best for you depending on your health history and on the results of a blood test. I was on Otezla (apremilast) before being switched over to Skyrizi. The Otezla didn’t work for me and it gave more horrible side effects. Skyrizi hasn’t given me any issues what so ever. We went with Otezla pills first because I don’t like needles. I should’ve just gone with the Skyrizi from the very beginning. I noticed immediate results.
@@americanpaisareturns9051 I'm curious . . . did you actually have LABS that showed you had elevated IL-23?? I have not been tested for my Interleukin nor TNF a levels, ever. Have you? My impression is Rheums hazard guesses,and base them on a small handful of drugs with pharma is selling. I have more psArth than skin issues - the psArth being the full meal deal - would love to stop it in its tracks. Nothing tried has worked yet: mtx, Hum, Enb, Cosen . . . I think that's all before docs gave up.
@@eugeniebreida1583 Talk to your doctor. They will run whatever test need to be done for you depending on your health history. What works for me may not work for you. Then again if you don’t give the medication a try how will you know if it works or doesn’t work in the first place.
I have been diagnosed with scalp psoriasis but despite having 6 years of appointments about neck and spine, achilles and foot, hip and shoulder pains, no one has ever suggested that I might have this. Only because my scalp psoriasis has flared up, I looked up how it might cause other issues, did I read of this condition (I knew it could effect joints but my hands are ok so I hadn't considered it). I'm using nhs and I hate going in saying, 'hey I think I might have this, please can we test' as I don't think they like suggestions and seem reluctant to test.
I suffer from it also for 3 yrs and I was able to get rid of mine permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on RUclips you can contact him also he can help you❤
I'm in the same situation. I feel almost stupid because my spine started falling apart at age 32. I've had weird rashes and skin issues my entire life. My father and sister both have severe plaque psoriasis and I have a patch on my scalp that was never considered. Now I have weird contact allergies/rashes and severe fatigue and nail pitting and ridges and no doctor has considered this until now. I just brought it to my GP and am going to see my neurosurgeon and a dermatologist because I'm positive this is what I'm dealing with now. And after all these years of confusion... I'm worried they aren't going to recognize it. How are you? It's been a year since you wrote this. Did anyone listen to you?
If it helps to anyone : I have PA , inverse psoriasis , and (all hands/toes) nails ruined by psoriasis . For PA joint pain/stiffness management low dose of antidepressant helped massively (10mg. of Prozac once daily) , prior to that I could barely get up from the bead , walk etc. I was on strong mix of pain meds every single day nowadays I seldom need to take pain meds , 10mg of Prozac cut about 70% of pain/stiffness issues . Nails got little bit better/stronger too as well as skin psoriasis . An odd one but please try if it works for any of you to make life with this awful health problem at least little bit better/easier to live with .

Hi, this is really helpful for patients as well as individuals studying. I am setting up a RUclips channel to cover life hacks when living with chronic illness, I will definitely be promoting your site as I will not be using so many medical terms and this is really fascinating! You have also made your videos relatable for patients as well as medical students/professionals
Psoriasis is defined as a long-lasting autoimmune disease which is characterized by patches of abnormal skin that are usually red, dry, itchy, and scaly. It is a common skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. It affects men and women equally and can begin at any age, but it is most common between the age of 15-35 years and again between 50-60 years. Psoriasis is commonly associated with several other conditions, including- type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel syndrome, heart diseases, psoriatic arthritis, etc.
Your paragraph above makes more sense than the whole slide show. As usual the MD's are creating boxes for us to fit into. The arthropies (sp?) are largely overlapping, and the skin manifestations of Psoriasis are also variable . . . at least FIVE types of skin lesions, not only 'plaque psoriasis'. This is how patients are denied a diagnosis. This guy should go back to school.

I have it I’m 27 now have had it for 5 years the arthritis actually came before the skin problems although it did start with nail pitting about 6 + years ago at the worst I couldn’t open my hands at all or walk, been on methotrexate for 3 years it worked wonders I must say cleared my skin up and been able to go out running and to the gym the past two years, if you have psoriatic arthritis and haven’t tried treatment I would definitely recommend enquiring about Methotrexate only down side is the blood tests.
wattmelberries 100% id been getting injection and nothing worked then got put on methotrexate it helped in every way possible, I went from being unable to walk or open my hands to going to gym and running in the space of a year
@@CAP-MUFC Thanks for the answer. I'm 28 years old and have psoriasis since I was 23. I will go to the doctor soon and ask about getting methrotextrate.
wattmelberries May as well try it and see how it goes I started to notice a difference in 4-5 weeks after and a few months it was almost back to normal have little to no bother at all now hands and feet have been fine for a few years now
I would NOT recommend Methotrexate! Look up the side effects! I'm 56, had psoriasis all my life, had psoriatic arthritis since I was about 18. When I was about 24 the doctor put me on that garbage drug, it's no good! Wanna control your psoriatic arthritis? Change your diet! Don't wanna give up sugar, gluten, alcohol and all that other good stuff? Then enjoy your Methotrexate! You'll be sorry when you get older.. Good luck!

And now at the age of 21 I am diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis too. It has already affected my left hand's 3 fingers and even my right hand's fingers shape is changing. I am really scared. Will I be able to write or type? Will I be able to perform normal daily task like a normal person? Can I stop this disease from spreading to my other body parts. I am very very scared. I don't wanna suffer at such a young age. I have also consulted a rheumatologist but no medications are working for me.If someone has got cured from PA please reply to this comment about your healing journey. It will really help me. Thankyou:)
I have suffered with this my entire life. Went to one Dr after another. Found out what it is about 20 years ago. I have the Mutilan type. Nothing has helped.
Just got diagnosed a few days ago. I have had the symptoms since I was in middle school. Over 10 years of progressing joint pain, and psoriasis patch on my knee. I've been to so many doctors and all of them said nothing was wrong. The joint pain was in my head, and i just needed to rest more. Finally found a doc who knew what the problem was right away. Better late than never I suppose. If you're a doctor reading this... please don't tell a 12 year old joint pain is normal and to take it easy. 😐
I went through this exact same thing, got diagnosed today. Hope youre in the way to feeling better
@@clairel6332 I'm on board with a rheumatologist now, and we're coming up with a game plan within the next few months :) hope yours goes well too!
21 now and the doctors expect me to have some kind of arthritis. I’ve had this patch on my scalp for over 4 years now and I’m actually quite pissed that my GP never thought it might be psoriasis. Could’ve prepared me for what is to come now. Also had swelling in my knee for over 2 years. Same GP said she didn’t know what it could be and maybe I should just try a physiotherapist, see what that does. I barely have any faith in the health system anymore.
Took Dr's 16 years to diagnose my brother with Psoriasis in his finger nails (was told it was a fungal infection prior to final diagnosis). He now has both psoriatic and osteo Arthritis in his hands.
Arthritis is VERY uncommon in someone not even a teenager.
I had psoriasis since I was a teen, and only developed Arthritis a year or 2 ago and I'm in my 30s. But hey, everyone is different and hope your better
I've had this for 21 years. Been through hell and back trying every drug known to man. Through desperation I turned to diet and have pretty much cured it and live a drug free life with barely any discomfort. I removed all grains from my diet and processed foods, sugar dairy. Spent 6 months just eating meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. No bread, wheat, rice, oats, cakes, pies, pizza's, etc. It was tough but truly life changing. I was on 20mg of Prednisolone a day just to get out of bed. Now I'm drug free, no pain, no stiffness. Good luck to those of you suffering with this awful disease
Posting your diet will help many! Good on you!
praise the LOrd you posted this thank you!!! I do also think specific diet would help. of course may the ord heal youin the nam eof the Lord Jesus Christ
Thanks 😢😢😢
What supplements or vitamins minerals did you take???
Did you quit dairy as well?? Just wondering.
Extremely interesting. I have had this disease for over 20 years and have learned more from this lecture than from all the doctors I have seen. Thank you
same friend
Always had psoriasis through my life then bam woke up one Sunday swollen in my ankles fingers elbows and neck knees never realised how stiff your entire body can be all the different medications don’t worry could no longer work because sitting or standing for to long isn’t possible 32 years old 4 children to support can’t believe how your life can just change , stay strong everyone who suffers join groups and have people to vent with and too it’s something you have to have to understand
I've had this for over a year now, I've tried different medication, but non worked for me,I was on RUclips when I came across a testifier,I decided to check it out,u recommended treatment from Dr Obinyan on RUclips,to my greatest surprise it worked perfectly,with no side effect💯🙏🙏💚
I didn't develop arthritis but since giving up wheat and sugar I haven't had any outbreaks of psoriasis for a year. Give it a go. You have nothing to lose..
Yes. You are correct. It's the only way to escape outbreaks.
I gave up dairy and gluten.
Di you eat any type of bread?
@@jeanreynolds1425 nothing with wheat. I'm doing keto at the moment which limits carbs generally.
I have been very lucky. My psoriatic arthritis effected my hands, feet, neck and back. I no longer have any symptoms,pain or skin conditions . I had to completely change my diet and no longer eat gluten or sugar ever and only eat dairy occasionally as a fat. Its been interesting learning how to bake without wheat , dairy or sugar. My 50 years of processed food fun are over.
Help me mam 😢😢😢
Please advice on what you know eat , my friends daughter suffers from psoriasis .
@@wm9669 keto diet best you can go 100% keto or 60% I just cut sugar, bread, potatoes, rice and pasta.. Good luck
Please help us out here...What do you eat on regularly?for breakfast ,lunch ,dinners
I'm having a difficult time
Do you eat eggs???
I've had it for about forty years but when I inquired none of the physicians I talked to recognized it in a relatively mild form. Until a Radiologist friend instantly told me about it and I sought treatment from a local dermitoligist and Rheumatoligist who have helped me control both. It comes and goes and is never ending.
I was diagnosed with PsA two and a half years ago. Everything in this video is spot on. About ten years ago started developing a "chronic dandruff" that was not treatable by shampoos. That was scalp psoriasis. Around five years ago started having stiffness in hands. Have had plantar fasciaitus in the past as well. Then I was getting the fingernail separation, thought was simply a fungus - not. For decades had an on and off painful butt crack inflammation. Up to now, never complained to PCP. Then things got serious... Got one "sausage" toe, then a second one. Thumb started to have a growth/bump on first knuckle. That was bone degeneration. Thighs would ache getting up after sitting down "too long" in one position. Hips would hurt from lying in bed. My feet were a chronic source of pain and discomfort when walking - heel, sole, toes. Fast forward to two years ago. Humira cleared up all of my pain symptoms within a couple months of treatment. Today, no more scalp issue. No sausage toes/digits or nail issues. I still have bump on thumb since bone damage is not reversible. Most importantly, arthritis has essentially gone into remission. Some minor skin plaque psoriasis has broken through on lower legs, but this is better than PsA. I hate to sound like a cheerleader for drugs, but Humira (adalimumab) was a game changer.
Oml I need a drug like this. It's taken 8 years and was diagnosed today, finally. 8 years of so much pain. I'm hoping that the rheumy will be willing to give me biologics or dmards. I want my life back.

Interesting I’ve had it for 3 years now and have been on Cosentyx which was also game changing for me. My symptoms were exactly like yours scalp psoriasis then I got it on my back my face my hands and arms and legs it was so painful to shower it felt like acid was pouring on me all the time then I got to see a dermatologist before seeing a rheumatologist he put me on Cosentyx then when I went to rheumatologist he said if you would of saw me first it would of took years before getting on a biologic drug anyway 3 years my joint pain is worse than ever my psoriasis is starting to come back on my scalp and legs and now I’m wondering what to do now that my once called game changing drug has stopped?
@@gprimo4662 I definitely get a second opinion from both Dermatologist and a rheumatologist.
I will pray for my healing as yours. Legit sounded like you're describing myself in your comment. I now have sausage toes and fingers...my 1 thumb joint is constantly 2 times bigger than other thumb and hurts all the time, feet hurt so bad. My knees get it, my calf muscles after walking dog. The nail pitting, the scales..I'm only 34 and fear I have a severe case. I see rheumatologist for first time next week.
I am a patient of psoriatic arthritis, diagnosed at 18, in pain since early teens. My arthritis is severe, at age 22 and 23 i had my right then left wrist fusion surgeries. It continues to advance in my finger joints as well as my feet. My pinky toes are considered permenentLy fractured off as the bones have completely eroded away. I have been on anti TNF drugs since 2 years into my treatment. Etanercept worked for 10 years and then i was no longer receptive to it. Im working to find another consistent treatment but i am now on my 5th alternate biologic having failed the previous ones.
This disease is horrible and devastating to its patients. Especially those with a more severe form.
Thank you for the information you provided in this video, very consise but very complete. A good guide to understanding how it works
Very informative and easy to understand. I have repeatedly been misdiagnosed, through research like this site I realized why I kept getting swollen joints. Drs kept saying osteoarthritis, finally I have found a physio who agreed PA is the problem. This is great, it explained everything so well I have a much better understanding of this disease now. Thank you!
Do you suffer from skin conditions? If so why don't doctors know it PA and not osteoarthritis?
The most modern classification is the CASPAR CRITERIA (2006)
The entry criteria is inflammatory articulate disease of joint, spine or entheses.
It is a scoring system that takes in consideration 5 things:
1. Psoriasis
- 2pts current psoriasis
- 1pt personal or family history
2. Nail dystrophy - 1pt (must be current. Onycholysis, pitting or hyperkeratosis)
3. Negative RF - 1pt
4. Dactilytis - 1pt (current or personal history)
5. Juxta-articular bone formation on hand/feet x-ray - 1pt
Final score = or > 3 points, it is positive for psoriac arthritis.
The specificity is 98,7% and the sensitivity is 91,4%
:)

This was very helpful and I learned more by watching this video than listening to a Doctor ! I control my Psoriatic with a special diet! No Alcohol, sugar, wheat, certain Dairy products, I only use butter, lard, olive oil or Coca nut oil. No potatoes or rice/Pasta, wheat products! 🥰
So keto diet?
I'm a person with Psoriasis and this really helped me get more educated about something that could possibly effect me in the future. Its all really well put, especially for someone who isn't super versed in medical stuff like me
I now have the arthritis link to psoriasis. My best advise is take care of your general health. Eat healthy, exercice and all. It will greatly help. Don't do what I did XD.
@@aucus I developed it this year. I do eat healthily but need to lose weight, put on over the past year
@@dee2022uk I'm sorry to hear. I hope you feel better soon and that's easy to manage. You got this
I've had excruciating neck fracture pain go away while reading the bible out loud one day. My bones, joints and whole body felt very much stronger too so definately do so every day for a few minutes or more. I believe it can heal anything.
Request a rheumatologist review NOW! They will x ray your hands and feet as this is the first indicator of psoriatic arthritis. Disease modification drugs and biological drugs taken early will prevent deformed joints and a hell of a lot of pain. DONT wait with your fingers crossed go find out immediately how at risk you are x rays pick up very early changes if they exist. Good luck
Great video. I have learnt more in 9mins than I have in 12yrs of managing my PA. plantar fasciitis last winter did not know it was linked to PA. thanks again.
Yes! I experienced planter fasciitis during my bad flare up several months ago! I’ve started wearing very cushioned sandals indoors.
Reynard’s syndrome is also very much part of the parcel so look that up. I was offered biological drugs 20+ years ago when in my 20s but refused them after reading the drug information leaflet. Boy was I wrong! 8 years ago out of sheer desperation and immense pain I accepted Methotrexate, a chemotherapy drug which suppresses your heightened immune system. Best move I’ve ever made 👍. I’m 50 and this is the first time since aged 8 I’ve had normal skin 😀 my severe joint pain has lessened, I’m able to live a more normal life in the knowledge that my joints won’t now deform as quickly as they were. I still have flare ups but on a whole much better. Even looking more normal is a huge bonus I didn’t realise how affected I was by my appearance and gait due to pain. Couldn’t hill walk or run a marathon but generally way better, it’s a miracle drug. Good luck and be good to yourself xxx
@@Diana-tf5xq thank you for sharing your experience! yes, I do worry about joint damage too! I’ve been lucky that I’ve changed my diet (eliminated most of the usual bad suspects) and have been working on restoring the gut microbiome so that I haven’t had to resort to medications yet. Fingers crossed that that continues to work!
I get plantar fasciitis soo often
Got diagnosed in my 20s, female now mid 30s. No skin psoriasis but I have nail pitting. Been through every biologic and MTX. Humira and Orencia both sent me into remission. Changed diet, lost weight, very few flares. Sugar seems to increase inflammation and cause a flare.
Diagnosed in my 40s now in my 50s. Also no skin psoriasis but horrible nail pitting. Humira seemed to help but now seems to be no longer working. I've lost 90 pounds this year and eliminated sugar, gluten and alcohol. I'm not pain-free but definitely better! Controlling inflammation is key. Good luck to you!
Thanks for sharing. I'll try controlling my sugar intake. I've had a good few weeks but keep having to pause my methotrexate because of high liver enzymes. Combo of adalimumab and mtx seem to work well at the moment.
Dr Osoria is great, He has been very attentive to my health issues. I have had complicated health problems and he has addressed them all. He is very kind and patient. I am very grateful for him.
What an EXCELLENT video! I learned a lot about my condition. Thankfully I'm past the 10 year mark with no serious complications.
Abby Fox you are right about the sugar and wheat. 👏
Your information is clarifying. This should help when talking with my Dr. Thank you.
I have this disease. This is the "best" explanation "ever". Thank you!
“Great”
I’m 14 and was just diagnosed with psoriasis by my dermatologist. He also believes it’s causing psoriatic arthritis because I experience occasional joint pain in my knees and ankles, and consistent joint pain in my elbow. Though, he is not 100% positive its psoriatic arthritis as I am still growing and it could potentially be growing pains. Hopefully it is just some growing pains. I am going to a rheumatologist soon to see what they think.
I've had excruciating neck fracture pain go away while I was reading the bible out loud one day. My bones ,joints and everything felt very much stronger too so definately do it every day for a few minutes or more. I believe it can heal anything.
And try Tithing to CBN's 700 Club it's healed me amazingly many times. Voice of the Martyrs ministry is amazing too.
Oh and the ketogenic diet reduces swelling and joint pain extremely well.
Take MSM three times a day. It can take a month or more before you get any relief. It takes time to build up in your system.
Good luck and prayers for you! Read the other comments about diet. Get rid of sugar, grains, processed food, dairy….etc. if you don’t want to live on drugs. Look into it now because you are so young to be on strong drugs for life, good luck!🍀
Was diagnosed at 13, now im 20 and im doing well (except for my right thumb which has severe laxity and is in a splint 24/7). I miss small joys like drawing without pain, being able to open a bottle on my own, or heavy lifting - yet im also so greatful for my doctors and nurses who took care of me. Back then I could barely walk, a wheelchair wouldn't work unless someone else was pushing me as my hands were in pain too. Now I look like a regular person (on the outside at least)
Hope you are going strong, like your name seeing iam from NZ and we call our selves kiwis

Thank you so much this really helped the last time I saw Rheumatology it had only just started psoriasis has come on so quick after having a ACDF cervical spine. I have nerve damage too from being left to long but now this is what it’s pointing too Neurologist has written this too so finally referred. Tendinitis in my fingers which are all cramping up. I am prone to bone spurs too. I read a comment about changing our diet which I agree with but I am a vegetarian so it’s becoming so hard for me.
I am 53 years old ☺️
Thank you again 👌👏👏
I am vegetarian too. It very hard to reduce grain from my diet. I might go to any dietitian this month or next.
Please let me know if any diet help you.
I'm going through the same thing! My first acdf was 10 years ago at age 34. Followed by a 4 level pcdf the next year. All of my complaints have been blamed on my cervical myelopathy but now I'm presenting with rashes, plaque psoriasis on my scalp and nail psoriasis.
Ironically.... My father and sister both have severe plaque psoriasis that I do report in my family history... But not one doctor or specialist has made the connection.
I just figured it out and requested referral to rheumatology and dermatology. I've been feeling fatigued and sick for over 10 years now
Great job! informative and well presented. I'm a physician.
I have lupus and RA arthritis all over my body but the hardest to deal with is my hands and feet the rest I’ve gotten used to the pain but my hands are swollen all the time and I have degenerative disk disease so walking isn’t easy anymore. I find your videos very helpful. I’ve had Imuran and methotrexate and my body didn’t cope with either . Anyway thank you xox
Please, Im no doctor but read into how diet can help you with your health, many tips are within the comments. All bits help, it costs nothing more than buying this products and can only give positive results. By all means not saying to drop your medication and ignore your doctor, but just look into it to change your diet to see if you can get better and maybe in agreement with your doctor, even lower the doses. Our food has been messed with to both make people crave for more and to keep people depending on medication. Lupus is a disease that has gone rampant only recently, one can wonder why? They tell you its better diagnostics but is it? Lots of food can cause your symptoms, like tomatos and bell peppers in some people make inflammation go through the roof, while beans will sooth your pains as it levels your blood sugar. Let food be thy medicine.
@@AnnaMaria-zm8cv I took the frist Moderma shot and had an inflamatory reponse so bad , I was in bed 3 months screaming when ever , I moved.

Really interesting and clearly put together. If this is helpful to future doctors I can share - My skin psoriasis cleared up (I think my Colladeen visage tablets have helped with this) but my back fused at the lower vertebrae and I have suffered back pain for a long time (comes and goes and often travels into my legs.) no-one from a medical background has ever asked me to do a checklist for arthritis. When I was told about the psoriasis diagnosis it was with a shrug of the shoulders. i heard about the link to spondylitis from a neighbour and had this checked out but ok so far. I also have dry eyes (I went through a phase of repeated iritis) . Not much seems known about psoriasis but inflammatory conditions do seem to be a big problem for many people. Good luck to your studies. Doctors are doing a wonderful service and those that do so with a smile and noticeably caring attitude (which can be hard when overworked) are even more special. I enjoy watching ‘GP’s behind closed doors’ on the tv - spotting signs and symptoms is important for us all!
Would be helpful to list clinics who deal and specialise in these conditions
Summed up much in concise... do continue posting such videos...thank you 🙏🏻
Will do thanks!
I have psoriatic arthritis for 15 years now, been a painful beginning ehen i was first diagnosed, been treated as chronic with methotrexate as the main treatment.
Try having kefir fermented milk for 2 weeks and see if it helps
My psoriatic arthritis started about 3 years after my psoriasis started. I had been on a huge dose of steroid for hives. That what woke up my psoriasis.
I’m taking a JAK inhibitor for my PsA called Xeljanz. Got sick of being guinea pigged on DMARDs and TNF biologics, so my rheumy and I decided to give this a shot. Seems to be helping, thus far, and my hair isn’t falling out, anymore. 😁 Plus, taking a pill is sooooo much nicer than giving oneself a shot!!
I also started JAK from today only.. Hope for the best..
Try adding kefir fermented milk to your diet - 1 cup a day for at least 2 weeks and see if there is any improvement.
@@andrewb3497 fermented milk is not going to have an affect on a systemic autoimmune disease
I witnessed and feared not being able to feed myself in my old age since I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, until I discovered INESSA Advanced Daily Biotic, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, my pain and swelling has improved drastically from an 8 to 0 in some joints and a 2 in only 1 remaining joint.
Great video! Unfortunately my psoriatic arthritis developed between 15-20 years after my psoriasis symptoms appeared 😣
I was diagnosed with Psoriasis at 12... And with Psoriatic Arthritis in my knees at 48. Going again for issues with my hands, namely my thumbs and baby fingers. Btw I am currently 53.
Oh Snap! I have psoriasis. Now I understand why I had plantar fasciitis pain too. I was put on Skyrizi for my plaque psoriasis. It worked and gave me clearer skin. I also noticed my plantar fasciitis pain disappeared after I was put on Skyrizi. I just thought it was a positive side effect of the medication.
Do you know what exactly your skyrizi is targeting? Is it a new drug out there? (I have both, have not found anything that works, am quite low weight, so the typical 'shot' of a Humira etc doesn't seem 'weight appropriate'/very scary.
@@eugeniebreida1583 Humira (adalimumab) is an il-17 inhibitor. It targets interleukin-17. While Skyrizi ( risankizumab-rzaa) targets interleukin-23 (IL-23). Both of these are Monoclonal Antibodies medications. Talk to a Dermatologist to see what type of medication therapy works best for you. Your doctor will tell you which medication is best for you depending on your health history and on the results of a blood test. I was on Otezla (apremilast) before being switched over to Skyrizi. The Otezla didn’t work for me and it gave more horrible side effects. Skyrizi hasn’t given me any issues what so ever. We went with Otezla pills first because I don’t like needles. I should’ve just gone with the Skyrizi from the very beginning. I noticed immediate results.
@@americanpaisareturns9051 I'm curious . . . did you actually have LABS that showed you had elevated IL-23??
I have not been tested for my Interleukin nor TNF a levels, ever. Have you?
My impression is Rheums hazard guesses,and base them on a small handful of drugs with pharma is selling.
I have more psArth than skin issues - the psArth being the full meal deal - would love to stop it in its tracks.
Nothing tried has worked yet: mtx, Hum, Enb, Cosen . . . I think that's all before docs gave up.
@@eugeniebreida1583 Talk to your doctor. They will run whatever test need to be done for you depending on your health history. What works for me may not work for you. Then again if you don’t give the medication a try how will you know if it works or doesn’t work in the first place.
I put it in a spray bottle and spray my infected areas. I found the use of water on my scalp exacerbated the condition.
I have been diagnosed with scalp psoriasis but despite having 6 years of appointments about neck and spine, achilles and foot, hip and shoulder pains, no one has ever suggested that I might have this. Only because my scalp psoriasis has flared up, I looked up how it might cause other issues, did I read of this condition (I knew it could effect joints but my hands are ok so I hadn't considered it).
I'm using nhs and I hate going in saying, 'hey I think I might have this, please can we test' as I don't think they like suggestions and seem reluctant to test.
I suffer from it also for 3 yrs and I was able to get rid of mine permanently through the help of DR OSEMUAHU on RUclips you can contact him also he can help you❤
I'm in the same situation. I feel almost stupid because my spine started falling apart at age 32. I've had weird rashes and skin issues my entire life.
My father and sister both have severe plaque psoriasis and I have a patch on my scalp that was never considered.
Now I have weird contact allergies/rashes and severe fatigue and nail pitting and ridges and no doctor has considered this until now.
I just brought it to my GP and am going to see my neurosurgeon and a dermatologist because I'm positive this is what I'm dealing with now.
And after all these years of confusion... I'm worried they aren't going to recognize it.
How are you? It's been a year since you wrote this. Did anyone listen to you?
Now know why I've had tendon problems for so long! Yikes.

Keto diet reduces swelling amazingly.
Enthesitis sucks! 😢
If it helps to anyone : I have PA , inverse psoriasis , and (all hands/toes) nails ruined by psoriasis . For PA joint pain/stiffness management low dose of antidepressant helped massively (10mg. of Prozac once daily) , prior to that I could barely get up from the bead , walk etc. I was on strong mix of pain meds every single day nowadays I seldom need to take pain meds , 10mg of Prozac cut about 70% of pain/stiffness issues . Nails got little bit better/stronger too as well as skin psoriasis . An odd one but please try if it works for any of you to make life with this awful health problem at least little bit better/easier to live with .

Thanks for the information is very educational for me because l didn’t know about this before
Diagnosed when I was 15 with psoriatic arthritis. Ruined my basketball dreams, I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone
me just detected early this year....been taking 5 tablets of methotrexate per week
These videos are amazing
Thank you so much
Hi, this is really helpful for patients as well as individuals studying. I am setting up a RUclips channel to cover life hacks when living with chronic illness, I will definitely be promoting your site as I will not be using so many medical terms and this is really fascinating! You have also made your videos relatable for patients as well as medical students/professionals
Checking the boxes as this video plays.
Psoriasis is defined as a long-lasting autoimmune disease which is characterized by patches of abnormal skin that are usually red, dry, itchy, and scaly. It is a common skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. It affects men and women equally and can begin at any age, but it is most common between the age of 15-35 years and again between 50-60 years. Psoriasis is commonly associated with several other conditions, including- type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel syndrome, heart diseases, psoriatic arthritis, etc.
Your paragraph above makes more sense than the whole slide show. As usual the MD's are creating boxes for us to fit into. The arthropies (sp?) are largely overlapping, and the skin manifestations of Psoriasis are also variable . . . at least FIVE types of skin lesions, not only 'plaque psoriasis'. This is how patients are denied a diagnosis.
This guy should go back to school.
My step mom hands has skin psoriasis about 4 years ago. I came across Dr Isibor skin psoriasis treatment method works on my step mom's skin psoriasis problem. Having said that, improvements are recognizable after a week of using it. The treatment helps her a lot in controlling her skin psoriasis and got her cured completely in less than 3 weeks!!!
My mother had it. I did not know until I was 75 and had a lens put in at the hospital, I was given strong drugs so I could stay awake to help the Dr. A week later the skin came off my elbow and developed psoriassis, then PA.UGH!
Great detailed video. All that is needed now is a new and effective probiotic food supplement to be made available. Oh wait a minute, what about Axisbiotix?
"They can adjust their diet. Stop eating sugar, processed foods, watch their omega 3 to 6 intake ratio, avoid transfats. They can start exercising, eat more fresh foods, lower carbs..."
I have it I’m 27 now have had it for 5 years the arthritis actually came before the skin problems although it did start with nail pitting about 6 + years ago at the worst I couldn’t open my hands at all or walk, been on methotrexate for 3 years it worked wonders I must say cleared my skin up and been able to go out running and to the gym the past two years, if you have psoriatic arthritis and haven’t tried treatment I would definitely recommend enquiring about Methotrexate only down side is the blood tests.
Did methrodextrate helped your arthritis? I've had been on humira for a year and it cleared psoriasis up but my joints are still cricky.
wattmelberries 100% id been getting injection and nothing worked then got put on methotrexate it helped in every way possible, I went from being unable to walk or open my hands to going to gym and running in the space of a year
@@CAP-MUFC Thanks for the answer. I'm 28 years old and have psoriasis since I was 23. I will go to the doctor soon and ask about getting methrotextrate.
wattmelberries May as well try it and see how it goes I started to notice a difference in 4-5 weeks after and a few months it was almost back to normal have little to no bother at all now hands and feet have been fine for a few years now
I would NOT recommend Methotrexate! Look up the side effects! I'm 56, had psoriasis all my life, had psoriatic arthritis since I was about 18. When I was about 24 the doctor put me on that garbage drug, it's no good! Wanna control your psoriatic arthritis? Change your diet! Don't wanna give up sugar, gluten, alcohol and all that other good stuff? Then enjoy your Methotrexate! You'll be sorry when you get older.. Good luck!
Plz we want video about rheumatoid arthritis if it's possible... tysm for u hard work
will add it to the list!
Very informative. Well explained and helpful. Thank you.
Could a change in diet help with symptoms?
please post more videos and more frequently, thank you
Hi Ramu, You are right, I wish I could but I am working really hard on the paediatrics book at the moment. I will start releasing them frequently when I get more time!
This makes sense. Thank you 😊
Can posttraumatic arthritis after an joint injury also spread to other joint that wasnt affected by a trauma?
I had this flare up when I was in the third grade and all of a sudden it flared up again my last year of high school it sucks because it’s on my fingers
Thanku very much sir. I'm having nail pitting since one year. Only 6 nails with no any complications. Please can you tell which medicine should I take
Thankyou for this video, it’s greatly appreciated .
I'm 37 I was diagnosed with this at 32 after years of struggling and cprs in my foot rare form it's horrible trying to do day to day activities I work full time but its so painful they say for my age its surprising how bad I have it I now take injections every week for it helping a bit but some day's just feel like giving up
Thank you so much ! It is a very good information !
I have psoriatic arthritis mutalins. It’s so horrible. I suffer 24/7. My joint pain started before I had the obvious sign of psoriasis. My eyes are effected. I have hearing lose. I have a spinal cord stimulater. I am going through my middle fingers being swelled up. Both hands. And my toes are swelled and hurting and my joints hurt all the time. I’m on Embral. Methotrexate. Pain medication. Anxiety medication. Nerve pain medication. Creams to help my skin. I wish there was a cure. But sadly I have watched my mothers family die with this horrible disease. Now my children have symptoms. Please please research and find help. Thank you! Leslye

Thanks for the great information!
I was diagnosed with PsA in 2019. Sulfasalazine didn’t work. Methotrexate hasn’t worked. Humira worked for a few months then stopped and more I’m trying Taltz. 41 y/o male with no hx of psoriasis but swelling, pain and some destructive damage in several digits, minor in severity. Any help?!?!
My 36 year old daughter was just diagnosed with this. Her entire body is covered in big red measle looking spots. Watching this video finding out the possible effects of this disease made my heart just break for my daughter 💔
Try to watch Dr. Eric Berg or BerryMD
Hello how is your daughter doing, has been able to get rid of it?
see a doctor on trying methotrexate
great video, thank you so much :)
There are many carnivore channels out there today. Look them up. Listen. Amazing testimonies. I hope I am going to be one of them soon.
Excellent video. How likely that Covid-19 vaccine, which I am deemed now allergic to, triggered an acute on chronic event, resulting in myalgya and every symptom of AS with psoriasis. .thanks
Extremely interesting. Tnx You...
I’m 20 and I just got diagnosed with this. Drained my knee and a steroid jag in the butt cheek.
Are you ok now?
Diana Franco unfortunately nope. Doctors taking far too long and still going without medication
Ill pray for you
How u now
@@YourRecoveryDealer hey, if ur meaning how am I doing now after 6 months then I’m pretty much the same but that is because Covid has delayed my appointment with the hospital until next month. I’ll update u again after if u like
Excellent. Thanks.
CAMPATH/Lemtrada is also a good drug choice.
Very helpful ❤

Hi Doctor,
Myfather is suffering from swelling and muscle pain so many and I go so many hospital not current please guide medicine.
I got my first patch of Psoriasis on my right knee then on my left knee, elbows, hands, below waist and then I got scalp psoriasis and nail psoriasis too. And now at the age of 21 I am diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis too. It has already affected my left hand's 3 fingers and even my right hand's fingers shape is changing. I am really scared. Will I be able to write or type? Will I be able to perform normal daily task like a normal person? Can I stop this disease from spreading to my other body parts. I am very very scared. I don't wanna suffer at such a young age. I have also consulted a rheumatologist but no medications are working for me.If someone has got cured from PA please reply to this comment about your healing journey. It will really help me.
Thankyou:)
Is there any curable treatment in the future? Please reply me
Can try Garden for Life Woberzym. If the condition is severe, take 9 pills in an empty stomach at least 45 mins before breakfast.
I wish I didn't see this video.. Now I have to wait for symptoms
I have suffered with this my entire life. Went to one Dr after another. Found out what it is about 20 years ago. I have the Mutilan type. Nothing has helped.
What can you do to heal it fully
I have psoriatic arthritis and the my left hand pinkie is in pain and swollen as if I sprained it, which I didn’t. Should I be worried
