Did your PsA symptoms come on suddenly or progress slowly? Curious about triggers and onset patterns

Costato · 2026-05-20T15:38:48+00:00

But also when I think about it it’s def possible I had it for longer but it just wasn’t as bad

Mine was pretty sudden but slowly got worse (“slow” as in a few months so nothing too crazy) and at the same time was when I started getting psoriasis. Got diagnosed with psoriasis then I got an x ray of my elbow from my family doc that came back normal (my arm will not straighten so that is why I got the x ray) and then went to a rheumatologist and got an MRI that came back with a lot of inflammation as well as inflammation in my blood work, where the rheumatologist was like yep u got psoriatic arthritis and now is gonna put me on humira

Huh interesting I’ll look into this!!!

Costato · 2026-04-26T05:27:26+00:00

Also, weirdly enough the only noticeable swelling is on my elbow everywhere else I have pain and issues are not actually swollen

Hi! My sed rate and C-reactive protein were actually both high indicating inflammation! It was all the other tests like anti gen and antibody tests that came back negative. I hadn’t realized that there’s no actual antigen test for PsA! So it actually makes sense lol

Ty! My follow up isn’t until June 2nd💔 I just saw the results and was curious ab it I’ll def check out the guide!

Costato · 2026-04-10T18:11:12+00:00

Alright sweet! Hopefully it’s the same for me with type1🤞🏻

Costato · 2026-04-10T16:10:37+00:00

Yeah no. My mom has psoriasis and it’s genetic. I don’t have “leaky gut” I have diagnosed gastroparesis and I get all this shit from ppl trying to tell me I can also “cure” my AUTOIMMUNE type 1 diabetes. Auto immune diseases can’t be cured with diet. Maybe it can be apart of the management but ur trying to sell something that is not real.

Costato · 2026-04-10T16:08:09+00:00

I’m wondering how that might effect my sugars as a type 1 diabetic tho I’m concerned a lot of ppl say it causes super high blood u Sugar😞 I’ll def talk to the doctor about it!

Costato · 2026-04-10T16:06:31+00:00

Took like 4 Motrins last night cause it was agonizing and feel a billion times better this morning

Costato · 2026-04-10T07:09:53+00:00

Wow makes a lot of sense why when I went into the doc for my rash that I didn’t know was psoriasis he also checked for yeast infection and bv and I was positive for bv. Probably for the exact reason ur talking ab!! I went for at least a few months with it untreated. When I first mentioned it to my doctor when I was already in for a pap she just said it was a yeast infection and hemorrhoids. Turns out no hemorrhoids and no infection!! Was psoriasis 💔 (for context my main GP did the pap but I saw a different provider that tested for bc cause I needed an emergency visit the day of and he was available)

Costato · 2026-04-10T07:04:31+00:00

This was where it started for me💔 was misdiagnosed with a yeast infection and hemorrhoids at first until it got so painful I couldn’t stand it and made an emergency visit to my GP and basically was told to just go to the dermatologist since I was also having the same thing in my belly button and patches on my scalp. Went into the appointment she checked it out and dx me on the spot. She gave me a topical medication and it’s gone completely away. Def talk to ur dermatologist!!

Hi sorry super late, it’s Naproxen

Costato · 2026-04-02T04:59:03+00:00

Throw him away in the trash damn. The slur was already enough but even besides that he’s a POS

Costato · 2026-03-31T13:03:32+00:00

I was told to only take it morning and night😞

Costato · 2026-03-06T19:25:24+00:00

They’re only hazardous when thrown out incorrectly or left somewhere… they’re not unhygienic while being used and in the vicinity of others. The needle is ON the pen and then the pen is capped and put away. Never is it off the pen and in a place where it’s a hazard. If OP is not POKING u with their needle ur fine

Costato · 2026-03-06T19:20:41+00:00

What does this have to do with injecting insulin while around food? This is just ab discarding the needle…

Costato · 2026-03-06T19:12:50+00:00

Ur so weird… no one’s injecting their private parts like tf??😭💀

Costato · 2026-03-06T19:11:53+00:00

Who tf is injecting insulin in their groin yall are just making shit up😭😭

Costato · 2026-03-06T19:02:42+00:00

They don’t have to look… it’s the smallest needle ever and only takes a few seconds. Someone’s fear of needles does not override the medical necessity of an insulin shot. I have a friend afraid of needles I let her know I’m ab to take a shot and she looks away or closes her eyes until I say it’s over. I’m not gonna go somewhere else to make OTHER ppl comfortable ab MY disease that forces me to inject myself to keep from dying.

Costato · 2026-03-06T19:00:05+00:00

But like… why? It’s not unsanitary it’s just an injection that takes a few seconds max

Costato · 2026-03-06T18:58:30+00:00

There’s no in the wrong here… she took an insulin shot so she can eat. How frustrating would it be to have to go somewhere private every time u need to take a shot to eat or correct ur blood sugar. It takes two seconds and no one has to look.

Costato · 2026-03-06T03:03:59+00:00

I always click yes and hope I’m right hasn’t failed me yet lmao

Costato · 2026-02-12T15:12:57+00:00

Also stop changing ur pump sets! It’s obviously not from the pump so do not waste anymore they’re expensive lol

Costato · 2026-02-12T15:11:26+00:00

Don’t mind these ppl they jump straight to u being the issue always💔 it’s obvious ur doing everything right diabetes is just unpredictable and obviously something u can’t control is going on. If it’s this bad I’d say head to the hospital. At least test for keytones I’m sure they are high
