My dx of psoriatic arthritis was confirmed with labs. This is a hard pill to swallow. I’m only 34. I have a 3 year old. In December I could dance and run with her. Now I can’t even stand long enough to cook.
I’m sorry you are going through that. That can be hard and difficult to swallow. Lots of unknowns at first. I was in a wheelchair and walker for a summer when I was first diagnosed. Had a 4 year old and 1 year old. I know that can be hard. It can get better though. Finding the right medicine helped for me. I still get flareups but it’s more manageable now. They are 13 and 10 now and still keeping up with them the best I can, kids have big very understanding hearts thank goodness.
I hope you are able to find a treatment that works well for you.
What do you mean your psoriatic arthritis was confirmed by labs? I was under the impression there was no specific test for it, and it was meeting a series of conditions rather than lab results. I am interested in getting those tests done, can you tell me what tests you had done that confirmed it?
My diagnosis came from the conditions I had previous and at the time along with lab tests checking my C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed rate).

I’m depressed. I’m feeling alone in all of this.
