Is It Psoriatic Arthritis?

Hello. I am Bo Jo. I just turned 65 this month. About 1 month ago, I was diagnosed with psoriasis. Then I went to my family doctor to see why my joints, feet, and hips hurt so bad. He referred me to a rheumatologist. However, there is only one in the group, so I have a 3-month wait!

11 years ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The pain I have been having for the last year is totally different than the fibromyalgia pain. I am getting tested next week for inflammatory foods. I have to start somewhere. Waiting to go on any medication seems like forever. Thank you for listening.

Do you have a story about living with psoriatic arthritis to share too?
