My family has been so wonderful during this process. They are doing all they can, are there any trusted articles I can point them too? They would like to understand my psoriatic arthritis diagnosis and just try and be there in anyway they can

There isn't much available that explains it. Recent research suggests it's caused by damage to our immune system from vaccines. The most important switch you can make is to go gluten-free and then grain-free. It makes a huge difference in pain levels. Also, mix frankincense oil with a pure carrier oil like organic calendula oil or olive oil, for an instant pain killer. Just rub it on the joint
