Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi Everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself, I think I joined the group about a week ago and really have not had much time to do this yet. Anyway, My name is Keli, I'm 25. (Just turned 25 on the 17th) I have PA, I first noticed the psoriasis, it came when I was about 12 then came the pains of the arthritis about the age of 17. Of course I had no idea what either was at the time. I did not even see doctors for either until about 17 when I ruptured my tendon in one of my ankles. It all went downhill from there. So, It took them until I was 21 to finally make the call of what it actually was. I saw one Rhuemy for 3 years and he wasn't helping so I switched and on the first visit she knew exactly what it was. I was thrilled so I have been seeing the same rhuemy for the last 4 years. So, I guess I'm about 8 years into the disease or atleast the actual arthritis. I have been put on Azulfidine, of course I stopped it about a year ago and have since been put back on it. I have had other medical issues along with the Pa so not all meds are an option. Such as the Enbrel which everyone raves about. I live in ville,Florida. If anyone needs a good rheumy here Dr. Olazar is wonderful! I look forward to talking with all of you. Thanks, Keli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
