I have just had appointment for a weeks intense therapy in hospital as a residential. Has anyone had this and did you benefit from it? 

This has been arranged by my specialist Nurse to try and ease the stiffness and to aid my mobility

    Lucky you Robert!

    I'm full of envy, go for it, it can only help. My hands and knees are getting worse, I wake up in pain several times per night and the mornings are agony, my hands are curled into fists. I see my specialist nurse on Friday so hope they can suggest something. I think I need some physio. Also it is becoming increasingly difficult to open jars, use cutlery, do up buttons etc. Gosh, it's hard to keep optomistic😩

      Hi shiela 

      omg sounds like you have it a lot worse than I have, It always amazes me why it depends where you live and different specialists what help you get, sounds like i have dropped lucky, although I am not looking forward to a week in hospital (im nt the best patient) and its about 20 miles from my home so i can just go home.

    Hi Robert,

    I live in Cumbria. I am trying to set up a patient led support group for people with PsA and psoriasis as I find this forum very helpful, I thought it would be good to see if there are floor sufferers who would be willing to meet up every quarter or so to share experiences. I've got as far as an email address but I don't know how to use social media, I'm a dinosaur! I must contact some of the national charities to ask if they could provide posters etc. Unfortunately, I've had a horrid 3 months and can't seem to getting motivated but perhaps talking to you today (& realising I'm not alone ) will help me. I've been in some dark places mentally and need to get a grip. Chronic pain is making me so miserable, irritable and generally very sad. Thanks for being there. She x

      Hi Shiela 

      i am in Shropshire, there are many support groups that are charity based that deal with our illness. I have not been involved in with them i only use this forum to speak to fellow sufferers, maybe there is a need for more local based forums where people could meet and have support from others in the same position, this is a horrible disease that can really nasty, i dont think that i am as bad as many others on here but that might be because i have only had it for just over 2 years and I dont think i am anywhere near as bad as others

    Should read 'fellow sufferers'! Perhaps a Freudian slip to indicate where I'm at!
