“Thanks! I’m happy to be here. Well, sort of lol. At least I’m finally in a place where I know what I’m dealing with. I always thought what I had would turn out to be RA or lupus. I was sort of surprised with the PSA diagnosis. I have known people with PSA but only mild forms of it. Since the face isn’t a common place for the rash that threw me off too. One thing about this disease is it sure does teach you who your friends are. I don’t have fair weather friends anymore. I don’t have time for them and they don’t understand me. It’s difficult to look at someone who looks perfectly fine and believe that they hurt badly.”- a member from Living with Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) - Online Support Group
