Hi all,
I was diagnosed with PsA when I was 25, after 10 years of issues. I'm now 31 and over the last 12 months have reached the point where my life revolves around my condition.
I've recently been accepted back under the care of the rheumatology team (yes, that's right, six years post-diagnosis) and am about to start methotrexate.
I'm a great believer in prescription drugs but I would love to hear some complementary therapy suggestions from people who actually understand what I'm dealing with.
What's worked for you?

I am in my 23rd year of PsA and have been taking meds for 18 of them. Due to my late start with the med I have also developed OA so have a creaky foot in both camps. I was born with auto-immune issues so it was no great surprise when I was finally diagnosed but the OA was a shock: I did not know one could have both.
Up top, on the grey menu, you can read up on the complementary stuff but, frankly, I wouldn't bother. I tried acupuncture twice. First time it helped for an hour or so and second time, with an expensive clinic now, it did nothing.
For my money just take the meds, eat healthily, don't smoke and exercise as much as you reasonably can. There are no quick fixes. Well, actually, there are no fixes
