Lying awake. At 2am in absolute agony I’m So so so tired of it 😢

Yes man, thank you so much for your content and I can connect to your pain, my mom struggling with that condition right now and I am going to heel her, try a lectin-free diet and do a detox but carefully, my theory is that if we heal gut completely there is no autoimmune anymore

I think the biggest take away for me is that you have the PRIVILEGE to not have to take the biologics because you're PSA is manageable. However my PSA is not, it is severe and I have to be on crutches whenever I'm not on one. If my PSA was at your level I also would not be on a biologic.

I know I need to learn to live with it, but I am weak from no sleep fatigues, I so often just want to die😕❗️

valid points.. but if the drug X dissapears it usually has other alternatives available.. I'm just worried about messing up my organs and health by not doing everything I can.. I'm fairly active and don't eat that bad and still get flare ups.. so it's a mix of meds and lifestyle for me.. again your opinion is valid and everyone has their own journey.. just wanted to share

Have you heard of Dr-Brooke Goldner? I have PSA and her diet helped me massively with it. The diet is a bit radical though.

I have be diagnosed with PsA runs in family but I have been in pain for more 25 years. I got guttate psoriasis after the COVID vaccine. Which was my trigger as it runs in my family. I daughter now has back back pain. I she doesn't follow my footsteps.

Hi Kev, how are you? You haven’t posted in a while

I have had psoriasis since I was five years old. I have had plaque psoriasis on my scalp, forehead, ears, eyebrows, belly button and now on my elbows and knees, Doctors call my psoriasis mild. I have had the eye inflammation 3 times and my nails have been affected for years and my back since my 20's. For the last 2 years my feet are in agony standing, walking are difficult and I cannot even tie a shoe over my right foot due to the pain. Apparently Australian doctors cannot make the connection to PA and I have had to ask directly for a referral to a Rheumatologist as I know this is what Iam suffering from.

How are you doing?

Exactly what i need), soon i will have vacation

I’ve been dealing with symptoms, to differing degrees, since high school. I’m now 41 and I just felt relief finally knowing what’s really wrong with me.

Any suggestions for those of us with bad psoriatic arthritis in the feet tendons that limits walking severely?

Just shows how life quality can be improved with the lifestyle choices you use.👍 I've always had chronic back pain and scalp psoriasis, some joint pain. Bloods ok, though have ms. No joint swelling though so not sure if I have it. Is joint swelling a main feature for you? I think you say in the video you did have this. I think in AS which often affects the back it might be seen on a scan/xray.

Hai bro i have this problem, i diagnosed 4 months ago. I continued medication but my joint pain is still on me, thanks your valuable suggestions 🙏🏻

It was twenty years before I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The diseases have progressed to the point where I'm now in a motorized wheelchair. I can walk a very short distance with use of canes, or walker, but the worst of it is the chronic pain and weakness. I'm on a biologic which has helped immensely, my entire body no longer aches. No, it doesn't eliminate all the pain nor the progressive joint damage. Everything I handled I end up, dropping it on the floor now. The cost of the biologic is insane if you are not on an assistance program or have insurance to pay for them you are screwed. I don't like biologics due to the cost and potential side effects. I know I'm rambling. It's a horrible disease. It's terribly misunderstood, especially within the medical field. I try not to eat processed foods and drink a lot of water. Sugar is poison. I wouldn't wish these diseases on anyone. Advice, travel while you still can see the world.

I do find that time in a hot tub helps. First thing in the morning and last thing at night.

Psoriatic arthritis SUCKS. I do not like the idea of being on medications, but diet does not seem to be enough. I gave up grain, dairy, nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers eggplant), sweeteners (except stevia), lowered my meat intake, gave up processed meats and foods, changed to green tea, I drink mostly water. Gave up alchohol. I went on methotrexate, I was Happy with my skin not itching but my liver did not like the idea. I was taken off that and now waiting to see if injections will work.

This stuff is so hard! I have recently given up grain and most dairy (A little bit of real butter is still in. I am a gardener and eat a ton of fruits and vegetables, but gave up Nightshades (Tomatos, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, and tomatillos) Haven't eaten gluten for more than a decade. I have always tried to not use items with sugar/corn sweetners for longer that that. My arthritis continues to worsen, and I think I will be trying the biologics for this now. Diet alone was not enough, but I hope it is for everyone and I am glad I started with diet.

I take fish oil, probiotic and a daily vitamin but add spices to my food like tumeric and pepper for inflammation and fennel seeds for gut health. I dont take pharmaceuticals and ive found the healthier my gut is the less pain i have.

Does your toe issue significantly affect your gait? Do you follow-up with your primary care doctor/rheumatologist to monitor your disease (i.e. take occasional X-rays, look for enthesitis, etc.)?

Thank you for sharing the details of your experience. Two months ago I got what seemed to be an intense gout attack. However, it never fully resolved and I think it could be psoriatic arthritis (diagnosed years ago and did Enbrel for seven months with not much pain improvement). This has been my scariest symptom due to it impacting my ability to walk normal or to even get around when flaring. Your video is inspiring and motivating.

Walking is so good for this disease, but my foot pain (enthesis, posterior tibialis tendonosis) makes it impossible to do enough. Any other suggestions?

Thanks Kev, my 17yr old daughter was diagnosed with the disease last week and despite being told not to Google by the consultant, I've been researching. Her thumb and foot have been very painful over the last 6 months. She's had difficulty writing during her AS level exams just before breaking up for summer. She's just started medication, Methotrexate, and some of the potential side effects are hair loss. I'd like to think that strength training and diet can help her and I took inspiration from your content. We were in the garage painting for 10 hours yesterday in preparation for the arrival of a squat rack, bench and air bike. Thank you.🙏

Hi it’s July 31. Just watching your video. It was great. The Simpsons are diagnosis video. I could relate to everything that you said your big toe hurts even having a sheet top of it hurt your wrist hurt your knees, your elbows. But I have to say wine thing. It hurts to move my spine and my back muscles. Nothing works for medication 11 years of course I walked to pay bills and get groceries, but it’s hell.

So, I am told that psoriatic arthritis runs in the family, so it is possible we are all related. Howdy Cousins!

I have lived with psoriasis since I was in my 20s. In 2022 I was diagnosed, it has been 30 years. Pain sucks.

Another big clue for whether you have psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis is symmetry. Rheumatoid Arthritis tends to present symmetrically along the axis of the body - both hands, both knees, etc. Psoriatic Arthritis tends to present asymmetrically - for example: left hand, left elbow, left ankle...but not on the right side.

Thank you for sharing your experience with PsA. My boyfriend got diagnosed last week and we were constantly in fear and anxieties. Hearing your experiences and how you dealt with it is giving us courage to battle the PsA with a renewed mindset. Wishing you all a better health.

Thank you, been diagnosed with PsA in 2016 and it is helpful to listen to other people's journey and perspectives!

Thanks for making these videos. They’re really thorough and helpful, and cover so many relatable topics for PsA and chronic illness in general.

I was just recently diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis but do not have psoriasis.

I’m so grateful to this channel. I live with both type 1 diabetes (30 years) & Psoriatic Arthritis (I think undiagnosed for most of my life), just recently diagnosed 4 years ago. When I go into a flare I find that rest, sleep and fasting along with stretching and small amount of cannabis to be very helpful. This is a journey-life long. I believe if we keep listening to our bodies and disconnecting from the distractions of daily life can help us hear what we need. Blessings out there

Good point about noticing the benefits of supplements after going off of them. So true. I also have PsA and need to get more anti inflammatories in my regimen. I have been using NAC and NADH which have helped me tremendously with low energy levels, lack of focus. NAC before bed has helped stop swelling in my hands in the morning, and overall wellness.

So glad i found this information. Thank you. I do weights Hypo mobile Raynauds Psoriasis Bursitis twice on my elbow and now in my shoulder. Under advanced muskle skeletal and dermatology Referral to Rheumatology now. I started in my teens with this. I felt no one ever believed me. Dr's just put me on controlled drugs for pain. Taken 40 yrs to actually get referrals. Diagnosed with eczema at 8 but its taken a Professor of dermatology to say it Psoriasis. Very disappointed with my health centre for not acting and helping me yrs ago . I walk every day. So true that it relieves my symptoms a tad but it's always there. Something we all have to live with x

Great job. Thank you.

Love your videos! Very helpful! One tip, you should avoid raspberries.

So grateful

Beautiful scenery! Where is it ? I really appreciate your videos. Thank you 😊

I can't do any squats or deadlifts anymore because my knees are so highly affected, especially since my worst flare that started a week ago. So far I've cut out all sugar, wheat, and basically just eating meat and veggies. It does seem to help. I'm also a developer, but nowhere near to the level you are. I'm primarily a web developer, but also know Python, C#, etc. It's actually been tough to find a remote job since my flare up, since I have limited experience. AI has made it tough for junior-mid level developer to find something.

Thank You! Kev

Really appreciate this, good to know ypu seem to be thriving, are you using any nsaids or prescription drugs to treat as well or just the holistic stuff, exersise diet etc?

Can i just say thank you very very much for doing these videos

It's interesting how your methods are a lot like mine. I usually go right into eating very lightly, mostly vegetables. Regular intermittent fasting seems to keep my flares to a minimum. I will definitely try the cold showers next.

you have psorias artists or rermotoid artrit?

I'm right there with you on dependency. I'm hoping to manage PsA with lifestyle changes. Right now all I can manage is walking 1 to 2 miles daily, but if I try to straight train few days later my inflammation and pain gets really bad.What are you thoughts on NSAIDS? my rehumatogist wants me to start taking Meloxicam 15mg and Lyrica 75mg for at least 1month. As of right now I only take Ibuprofen 800mg very rarely.

As for supplements right now I only take D3, B12, collagen, and Magnesium. I used to take Omegas 3 but not sure why I stop them. I also use turmeric here and there in my green juices. I know you prefer to manage PsA without prescribe drugs, but do you have any input on Meloxicam and Lyrica? this is why my Rheumatology wants me to start on.

Great video! I need to get back to my daily walks, stretches and PT exercises. Hope in a few months to be able to get back to strength training. My main focus right now is to manage my inflammation/pain and lose weight. I was diagnosed with PsA recently but battling with joint pain and inflammation for a few year now. I stopped eating added sweets in Jan this year and it has helped a lot with my inflammation.

Amazing view! Thanks for the reminder of daily walking, i need to keep them a priority now that I have been diagnosed with PsA.

Thank you for sharing, great information!
