"Recently diagnosed. Hands first. Can't take Methotrexate. Caused chronic dry cough. Tried it twice same result. Was on Stelara in till xrays showed scar tissue on my lungs. So stopped because I didn't know the cause. Will be seeing a new rheumatologist in 2 weeks. This sight has taught me so much in less than a week . I feel I am ready with questions now. I am blessed not to have the skin issues."
@dcwel, I'm really sorry you're having trouble finding a treatment that sticks. I'm glad that you found us though 😀 Not sure if you've seen this article yet, but it might be helpful at your appointment in April:

In the meantime, let us know if there's any info we can look up for you. You are not alone here.
-Victoria, Community ModeratorThank you for the info. I did read the questionnaire. Very informative. I am not in a bad way. Just want to keep it under control. Today I starting taking turmeric after researching it. I expect it to help with inflammation. I didn't realize that PsA affected so much of the body.
