I've never had psoriasis either but I have PSA. I do have nail psoriasis & some scalp itching & use a prescription red shampoo . This is a brutal disease all by itself.

Rheumatologist diagnosed me with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis as well but a dermatologist who I’ve been going to for a long time diagnosed me with PsA. My psoriasis didn’t come out for a long time though all my symptoms pointed to PsA. Maybe a second opinion if you are concerned !! Good luck~ MaryK

Hi Nancy, I’ve never had psoriasis, but was recently diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. All my labs and genetic marker are consistent with the diagnosis. My mother had psoriasis, and she had arthritis. No idea if she had psoriatic arthritis but I’m guessing she did. Seems I’ve inherited psoriatic arthritis from her. I’ve been asymptomatic, until now at the age of 70!

There's a switch, my Dr kept asking me. I said I don't know, I don't if I have psoriasis. I had skin issues happening but it did not for a long time look like psoriasis, and before that I had hives and blisters. I am on my 2nd med for the psoriasis, first I took Otezla and didn't make it through the starter pack. Sick to my stomach. Started cosentyx and it's working. No side effects yet.

I am in this exact situation right now. But thankfully my rheumatologist knew exactly what was happening and diagnosed me with PsA right away. No signs of psoriasis anywhere. He explained what it is and my life all made so much sense. Now we are working on a treatment plan.
