just not feeling well today and looking for folks who relate.
I have psoriatic arthritis (along with osteoarthritis in both knees but especially the left), I am in my 40s and got my diagnosis a couple of years ago. As a young adult and runner since I was 15 I had often wrapped the left knee & had other aches and pains here and there but didn't really have problems until after my 2nd child was born. When I started having trouble getting out of bed and going down the stairs it finally clicked that it was my joints and I made an appointment with a rheumatologist (my dad has had this disease since his teens so at least I'm familiar with what it is).
So, I am on one of the new drugs - Humira - and have been walking instead of running these days. Most of the time I feel fine but we've had a lot of rain coming through the past couple weeks so I've been more stiff and not in especially good spirits. It's making me miss the drought of last summer - I feel great when it's hot and dry!
Any other arthritis folks posting in here?
