Hello
Hi Everyone,
I have very recently, finally been given a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis, which I'm really pleased with as I've been suffering since a young teenager with my knees. Unfortunately it's now in my hips, base of spine, heel etc. I had a cortesoine injection last June which was amazing gave me six weeks with no pain!! My consultant has given me Ciclosporin, Just wondering if anyone has tried them? I was given them yesterday so I haven't started them yet. A bit worried as he said they can cause swollen gums. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you
Jacqueline
