Thanks

Thank you for starting this group!  I am a co-community leader in the arthritis forum and have not seen this group link posted there.  This would increase your groups exposure.  Looking forward to getting to know you better.

Hi everyone.  I'm new to MedHelp and was pleased to find this group, as Psoriatic Arthritis is so often skipped over in favour of RA.

I've had joint pain for years but was only diagnosed a couple of years ago with PsA.  I don't have a lot of skin problems, but do have widespread joint pain, particularly in my fingers and spine.  I find that heat really helps both - one of my best ever purchases was a paraffin wax bath for my hands, so if you suffer with the sausage fingers and pain, then I would really recommend one.
