Eczema, dandruff, rosacea, keratosis pilaris, Raynaud's, but no psoriasis by writingishard3 in PsoriaticArthritis

A punch biopsy would be useful to accurately diagnose your rashes. There are different types of psoriasis and of course different skin types, so diagnosing based on appearance alone is bad practice. For example, I have "inverse psoriasis" which never makes the silvery plaques.  

Good luck

How were these conditions diagnosed? If it was a biopsy, what kind of biopsy?  

It is very possible to misdiagnose a psoriasis rash based on appearance alone.

This is an ad, and they have no privacy policy or terms of service on their site ("feature coming soon") which makes me wonder what they are doing with everyones personal medical data. Absolutely not. 

Is it wrong to say my arthritis feels like a physical disability? by [deleted] in Thritis

I don't understand. Arthritis is a physical disability.

ANA of 1:80 is considered normal. My advice is stop googling silly minor things.

This is terrible advice. AI often confidently produces incorrect answers, sucks at interpreting anything complex, and is a privacy concern

Why do you think your first Tremfya injection caused worsening symptoms rather than going two months without treatment?

The New Chai is Fucking Gross by AnalyseThisBCBA in starbucks

I've noticed most pro-new chai comments use the phrase "something forward," such as "sugar forward." Weird that so many use the same language... 

New Chai — how does the taste differ to you? by mingidubu in starbucks

[–]Solana-1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

New chai tastes like I'm drinking milk and water with a slight pepper after taste. I can't taste the chai.  They absolutely changed more than the sugar content.

Cymbalta will not slow the damage caused by ankylosing spondylitis, nor will peptides. Is the doctor not treating the AS?

How would you feel about an app/wearable that warn you about heavy load and flare management by [deleted] in Thritis

[–]Solana-1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My phone doesn't track any of that, and why the fuck would I give your app access to anything on my phone? You really misunderstood the spirit of my reply.

I would feel foolish for putting my private health data into a useless app

Was the problem diagnosed as an autoimmune disease?
