Hello

Juleskimber58

I’m brand new to this and have recently been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis…I’m scared and suffering with anxiety/panic attacks and really don’t know how life is now going to be from now on! I know I’m not the only one to be going through this right now but it feels like I am!
