I seem to go through cycles. Winter months are the worst. I've been trying magnetic bracelets for some time and they seem to help. I've not had the extremes I had before. Others have recommended turmeric, which has had varying success. My fingers and toes seem the worst affected. Do you have anythings that you've found helpful?

Unfortunately things just kind of got worse for me so due to muscular dystrophy I don't really think much about my psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis much anymore I have much bigger issues but I never found anything that really help with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis other than controlling my stress levels and the use of THC in different forms

Just looked at my comment and wanted to say I did not mean to make one seem worse than the other just my quality of life is not good but I definitely fully understand the complications and difficulties that come with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and I truly hope that you find some things that help you

Remicade Infliximab made a massive difference for me. I have small patches of scale and occasional stiff hips and feet, but high school was so much worse. I get an IV once every second month and thats the only meds I take.

Stelara has been a lifesaver for me. It really helped with clearing up my psoriasis plaques and has mostly kept them away (I take Stelara for IBD as well, so it's one injection every 4 weeks for me. It's starting to not be as effective, but I've been on it since 2014). Unfortunately I've noticed Stelara doesn't do much at all for the arthritis part of psoriatic arthritis. I actually feel like sometimes it makes my joint pain worse? But it's a trade off because I've had mostly good results with clearing up my psoriasis plaques and managing my IBD symptoms.

I'm on tremfya injections for my Psariosis and pscoriatic arthritis this has pretty much cleared up my Psariosis which was really bad like everywhere and has helped with my pscoriatic arthritis symptoms but for me if I have to much dairy my joints start hurting again so I also avoid dairy as much as possible

I have been put on Humira and tomorrow will be my 5th injection. Not much help yet , makes my arms itch and burn like crazy the day after the injection. But I am hopeful the benefits will outweigh the itchiness.
