   <p>Hi @Bo Jo, thank you for sharing your story with us. I wish you didn&#39;t have such a long wait for the rheumatologist. Sometimes you could be put on a cancellation list, I have done this before to try to get in earlier. I am glad to hear you are being an advocate for yourself. Let us know, if you are comfortable, with how your food allergy test goes. I can understand why you feel like the wait is taking so long! It certainly is frustrating. While you are waiting, I am sending over an article about the common symptoms of PsA: <a href='https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/psa-symptoms' target='_blank'>https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/psa-symptoms</a>. And also, an article about how to prepare for your upcoming appointment: <a href='https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/what-to-expect-rheumatologists-office' target='_blank'>https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/what-to-expect-rheumatologists-office</a>. I am wishing you all the best and hope you can get the answers that you deserve. Jill, Team Member </p>

   <p>Hi bo jo I have fibromyalgia and every time I have new pain the gp puts it down to fibromyalgia. It’s only the fact I was seen by rheumatology that I have got the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis in my hands and maybe my feet </p>
