   <p><br/>Hi @Tracey Doyle, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Ten years is a long time to have such chronic pain. I am so glad you finally were able to get a diagnosis from a rheumatologist. I just wish you didn&#39;t have to wait so long. I am sending you an article with some good tips that I hope can help you: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/advice-newly-diagnosed. <br/><br/><br/>Methotrexate is usually the medication that will be prescribed first. I am sending you an article from our sister site with information about this: <a href='https://plaquepsoriasis.com/medications/methotrexate-reviews-how-well-works-side-effects' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://plaquepsoriasis.com/medications/methotrexate-reviews-how-well-works-side-effects</a>. <br/><br/><br/>I am also sending you an article from one of our advocates about her experience with folic acid: <a href='https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/vitamin-deficiency' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/vitamin-deficiency</a>. <br/><br/><br/>And finally, I am sending you an article that you might find interesting, it is from one of our advocates who also got her PsA diagnosis because of her swollen fingers: <a href='https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/sausage-fingers-validation' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/sausage-fingers-validation</a>. I really hope these articles can help you. Please let us know if you need any further information, we are here for you. Jill, Team Member </p>
