Has anyone been diagnosed with Fibrosis as part of PsA?
Recently I’ve been struggling with catching my breathing at times and my GP and dermatologist stopped my methotrexate as they think it could be causing Fibrosis.
I’ve got scans and tests lined up for this but also recently found out that it can be a problem with PsA itself rather than the medication.
Any thoughts or experiences on this one?

Oh
it really can feel like the hits just keep coming with PsA. I am so sorry that you have encountered a new hurdle filled with more questions and uncertainty. That is a very difficult place to be in the PsA journey and trying to see how all the pieces fit together can sometimes leave us feeling alone and scared.
I don’t have personal experience with fibrosis and its relationship with PsA, but I do know what it feels like to be caught trying to evaluate if something is a side effect or if it is a separate part of the same disease. I just wanted to reach out and offer my support and understanding to you today. I’ll do my best to search around my connections and see what or who I can find with any experience related to fibrosis and hopefully some others in our community will reach out and share their experiences with you. Until we know more, I’m just a message away and I hope that you are able to get some answers soon (in the short term) and are able to find effective treatment in the long term. Sending you gentle hugs and warm thoughts. -Leanne, Community Moderator
