Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi everyone, I am new on here and fairly new to the whole PA thing too. I was diagnosed about 5 months ago. I have had mild psoriasis since I was about 12 years old. Then about 18 months ago I just slowly started hurting everywhere. My feet were the worst. My doctor could not figure out what was wrong so she sent me to a rheumatologist. She diagnosed me with PA right away. Even though I have had psoriasis most of my life, I had never heard of psoriatic arthritis. She started me on methotrexate, prednizone, folic acid, and a calcium supplement. Within just a few weeks I felt so much better, but now it is not working as well. Is that how it usually works? The meds work for a while, then have to be changed because they stop working??? She has now started me on Enbrel. I wasnt to thrilled about the whole giving myself a shot thing, but I did my first this Wednesday and it wasnt so bad.
