Can Gutatte Psoriasis Cause Psoriatic Arthritis?

A MyPsoriasisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Indian, AK

So, I have been suffering from guttate psoriasis since the last one year, and have recently been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Have come across an article that says guttate psoriasis doesn’t cause arthritis and now I am second guessing my diagnosis. Would really be grateful if I get some insight on this.

I was suffering from guttate psoriasis (1984-1998). In 1998 my doctor prescribed me methotrexate 15mg intravenous. And the guttate psoriasis converted to plaque psoriasis after that it is in control due to methotrexate. But from 2020 I guess I have psoriatic arthritis. Now I am talking vitamin D 10k weekly and multivitamin daily. Now I have some relief in pain. You can try this but it's works from person to person. Best of luck. Thanks 😏

If you have ANY psoriasis, you can get the arthritis. I have nearly unnoticeable psoriasis in my hair. So little I thought it was just dandruff. If you have even the smallest amount of skin psoriasis your chances of developing arthritis are over 30%. If you undergo several trauma, that number goes to 80%. I developed it after having three major surgeries in 18 months.

You Could be correct, I’m talking from my personal experience. It saved my son’s life , they were telling him he had Sciatica for 2 months. I could not watch him suffer any longer , he couldn’t walk . Being from Boston ,where the countries best hospitals are, I took him to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was diagnosed via the blood test for Ankylosing Spondylitis .
On Enbrel for the last 4 yrs and doing great ! For us it was a God sent .
Nothing ventured nothing gained . 😊

People please ask your doctor to test you for HLBA -27. It’s just a blood test , will determine what you have or don’t have. : )
