To those who weren’t diagnosed with psoriasis first:Were you diagnosed with Fibromyalgia before PsA?

  1. What a great question, ! I hope that some of our community members who were diagnosed with Fibromyalgia prior to PsA can chime in with their experiences for you. Was this your personal experience? And was the Fibromyalgia a misdiagnosis or were you diagnosed with both?

    I did also want to share this article from one of our advocates. While she wasn't diagnosed with Fibromyalgia first, she does have a diagnosis of both, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/symptoms-fibromyalgia. Also, we do have this article about the difference between the two (and why they're often misdiagnosed, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/clinical/fibro-difference.

    I hope you can get some helpful feedback from the community here. Wishing you a gentle day! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
