Psoriatic Arthritis Archives

Seriously…

30+ years of having it being OVER THE COUNTER in most countries…

80 MILLION prescriptions in the United States…

NOT A SINGLE DEATH from the use of Emergency Contraception…

It DOES NOT inhibit implantation of a fertilized ovum… So it DOES NOT cause an "Abortion".

Aleve and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for the reduction of intense pain, fever, inflammation and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual cramps, tendinitis, bursitis, and the treatment of primary dysmenorrhe actually have a greater risk of inhibiting the implantation of a fertilized egg than The Morning After Pill and yet no one is protesting out front of the Safeway/Dominick’s when a chick buys the over the counter pain reliever… Right?

Emergency Contraception can PREVENT A MAJORITY OF ABORTIONS… You can INSTANTLY cut down the numbers of abortions being performed by 75% simply by allowing this "Strange, Dangerous, and NEW" concept that has been around in the rest of the world for 40+ years and yet is still being called "The Abortion Pill" by the Anti-Choice organizations that are shooting at abortion doctors and protesting sex education in schools…

I don’t get it…

Seriously… I want to know the illogical reasoning, based on OBVIOUSLY nonsense propaganda, why people are STILL fighting the distribution of Emergency Contraception…

NATURE causes 1/3 of ALL pregnancies to be NATURALLY terminated… A process called "Spontaneous Abortion" and "Miscarriage"… So you can’t argue that "God" wants all pregnancies to go to term because "God" should have built the "Ovens" a little better so that more babies are actually carried to term…

Come on…

NOT using "Emotional" arguments with no basis in science…
NOT using "Propaganda" and misinformation about how "Dangerous" it is…

PLEASE, explain to me why the #1 way of preventing abortions is "Evil".

Is anyone on Stelera and it hasn't worked?

I recently took my second set of shots on Stelera on 3/26/10 and since this past weekend I’m in full blown psoriasis out break. I was on Raptiva and Enbrel for the psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis until they took Raptiva off the market.

Sterela was meant to replace these other drugs and be the new treatment. I’m so disappointed and have no clue what to do. I’ve tried every drug and creams on the market to treat this disease and nothing but those two drugs I was previous on worked. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? My Dermatologist is out of town and saw his PA this week and she had nothing to offer me but cream for the itching.

I’ve been diagnosed with psoriases, psoriatic arthritis (which is now severe, the swelling won’t go away, and my finger’s are starting to become deformed and it’s really painful. I’ve also been diagnosed with gallbladder stones. I’ve tried a lot of anti inflammatory pills and none help. My one specialist suggested that I start IV treatment (remicade) but my other specialist refuses to prescribe it and he wants me to start methrotrexate. I don’t know if that’s a good idea since I found out that I have gallbladder stones since I’ve been having attacks for about 6 years and they last more than 6 hrs.My attacks are severe and last 9 to 15 hrs. Even the hospital couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me until now that I’ve been diagnosed (6 yrs later) . I’m only 24 and I’m hoping to get my health back on track. Thank you so much

Question about arthritis?

I’m sixteen and my mom is convinced that drinking cherry juice helps reduce the sypmtoms of psoriatic arthritis and I don’t think it does because when I drank it everyday, once a day, for about two weeks it didn’t seem to help, only my pain killer medicine does. I hate cherry juice and she keeps making me drink it, but I tell her that I don’t think it helps. Does anyone know if it actually helps or not?

What kind of insurance can an 18 year old get?

I’m currently 17 years old, and I turn 18 in July. I live in Georgia. I have fibromyalgia/psoriatic arthritis. Does medicaid work for me? Or should I go another route? I don’t have a job right now, and I still live with my mom. But I do plan to move out during the summer hopefully, but if I do, I think I’ll lose my insurance. I also am wanting to live with a friend, or a friend and her mother. How would that work out with the whole insurance thing? I got a million questions and don’t know where to start, lol.

It’s weird to have arthritis at a young age, but that’s what psoriasis does :( I didn’t have many lesions so I though I was so lucky, but I’ve started hurting more, and researching and I know I have the type that attacks the neck and spine.

Questions about Humira?

I just got my first shot of Humira for my suspected psoriatic arthritis on Friday and I had a question. For those of you that take it or have knowledge about it, I know that it lowers your white blood count. People in my house are sick quite a bit during the year, so other than screenings (which I obviously will be getting), how do I protect myself? Supplements? Immune-boosting foods? What are the chances of me actually getting a serious infection?

I am soon going to start methotrxate (injections) for psoriatic arthritis but everything I read on the internet says how awful this drug is. Is there anyone out there who takes it and has no horrible side effects?
