How can I keep from suffering alone?

My family tells me I'm exaggerating or overreacting to my pain.

I have psoriatic arthritis, sarcoidosis, ankylosing spondylitis, degenerative disc disease, and severe Osteoporosis.

  1. Hi . It must be frustrating to have to deal with that all the time. Have you considered asking them to accompany you to doctor's appointments? Sometimes, people are more receptive when that kind of information comes from a third party. My heart goes out to you! - Lori (Team Member)

    1. Fallow diet for PsA, it helps.

      1. Hi ! I am glad a change in diet has helped your symptoms. We have several members who find that removing certain foods from their diets brings them some relief. How did you figure out what works best for you? Thanks for sharing! - Lori (Team Member)
