Tina, there are so many new anti-inflammatories and other arthritis drugs out now. If you haven't already, you might try to see a rheumatologist...they are experts in autoimmune disorders, such as psoriasis and arthritis. I've had this since I was in my mid-twenties (I'm mid-50s now), and recently I have been put on a new regimen that really seems to work. No, you're not alone. We all have issues that we are dealing with. They may not be the same ones, but they make our quits challenging and even more important to boot!

Tina, nerves are nothing to be afraid of or ashamed of. Anxiety can create all kinds of conditions in our bodies. I have psoriatic arthritis, a type of arthritis related to psoriasis, and it really flares up when I am anxious about something. Just remember this: [quote] Just because I'm nervous it's not an omen of impending doom. [/quote] Good luck and hang in there!

Tina, Everyone's quit will be different and your symptoms will be unique. Take the time to check with your doctor to rule out anything medical if this persists. Keep strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
