No Skin Flare Up but Pain remains.

Although my skin is 90% clear through a strict diet and natural supplements I am taking, the joint pain has not left. I don't know if the skin flare ups are related to the joint pain ? It was my idea that the skin and pain were related ? For the moment, Advil or Motrin has helped along with topical creams and compression gloves. I have days where I feel good and have hope but days like today where I start to feel drained and want to give up all the efforts I am making.

    Sounds like you are doing everything that is recomended. What kind of Psoriasis do you have pustular , plaque, inverse Erythrodermic.or gutte.

    if you joints are painful psoriatic arthritis is linked to Psoriasis on the hands. It's important to see a rheumatologist asap to try MTX or other meds to stop the bone damage. This is an immune disease and can take a toll on energy levels. I make my own protein shakes and eat a clean diet. Help some.

    There are a lot of medications now to treat PA. 

    I have both PSA  and p in my hands too!

    hope to hear from you soon.

    Hope 👍xxx
