Yes, I thought I did, Dr asked me if I had it. My answer? I don't know, not sure. Dr Didn't think I had psoriatic arthritis. 6 months or so 2 big patches, now he said it's Psa

Yes! Took me 7 years from first time I went to doctor saying I think I have PSA. I wasn't prescribing some of my pains to PSA so probably didn't fully explain my symptoms. And, Kaiser...so wouldn't refer me to a Rheumatologist. Finding a good Rheum has been immensely helpful.

Newly Found Blood Proteins May Yield Earlier, More Accurate Arthritis Diagnoses" from MyPsoriasisTeam, researchers have discovered a set of proteins specific to PsA (Psoriatic Arthritis). This discovery could lead to a more reliable means of determining whether a person has PsA or RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) before their condition worsens. This implies that previously, there may have been cases where individuals were misdiagnosed due to the lack of specific biomarkers.
