Psoriatic Arthritis and Desert Fever

[Guest guest]

My friend has both of the above and is limited to the medications he

can take. He lives in Arizona for part of the year and other parts of

the west for others. He is in his late 30's and on Social Security

Disability and wonder if anyone has any suggestions.

Hello, Mangel:

PsA can sometimes be caused by celiac/sprue. It is important to get

this tested for, especially if the PsA was present before the desert

fever, which might only exacerbate the PsA.

Thank You, for writing about your friend, and I wish each of you a

healthy and happy New Year,
