Hi Michaela and welcome from me too.

Mine is RA but, I guess, closely related to PsA. Actually, new docs tend to get excited when I mention my Mum had psoriasis but, in the complete absence of it in me, they have to give up

Mine started in my hands many years ago. It's virtually burnt itself out there now but all my finger joints are either ultra-wiggly or self-fused.

If you've any questions just fire away, preferably on the Living With Arthritis forum as more people look in there

Hello, I have PsA, OA and fibromyalgia but so far so good with my hands: yes they hurt from time to time but I think the disease is sufficiently controlled so they are not being affected as yet; I don't have much psoriasis either. What meds are you taking? DD
