Do You Know How Your Doctor Will Diagnose Your condition?

Number 1, it took 25 years for me to get the right diagnosis. When I did find a rheumatologist who believed me. He asked about my family history and if anyone had psoriasis.

He also did a full exam on me from top to bottom. I was examined for plaques, inflammation, and joints. Blood tests were done along with X-rays, an MRI, an ultrasound, and blood tests. He was all in between my toes and scalp.

This exam was over 3 hours long, but at the end of the day, I was told I had psoriatic arthritis.

How were you diagnosed and how long did it take to get the proper diagnosis?
