Members discussed staying mobile during psoriatic arthritis flares while leaning heavily on family support and small, manageable steps. Several members shared how grandchildren, adult children, and close friends step in to help with laundry, cooking, and daily tasks when pain makes movement difficult. A recurring theme was the emotional weight of chronic illness within complex family dynamics, with many finding that talking with supportive friends and community members offers as much comfort as any physical strategy.

No Gaile! Small moves, ice or heating pad! Sometimes a stiff drink!😘

When our family needed the help, we 3 kids stepped in doing everything for them, including paying for help. Now when Dan and I need the help, his daughter and her family-within walking distance, tells me to do it and get off her property. She secretly signed our deed before it got registered. But no phone calls, tax payments, birthday or Christmas cards or visits in the hospital! I took care of his parents and when his mom was in hospice I said to live with us. No, because the family hates you! Even after living with us for 5 years FREE!🀬 with 3 kids a German Sheppard and cats. They did not even pay my bill at the hospital when their dog bit me! Some kids can be a blessing others a sin!

A flare Up rates rather high on the scale of exigency, it's ok. Push your way in to seeing your kind and caring dermatologist... right away❗

I still have some symptoms-the muscle aches, belching and eye fog, but the major one of brain fog is gone. Checking the walking again this morning and it looks better. The MRI went very well yesterday, except the bleeding when they pulled out the needle from the contrast. I bled totally through the gauze and on to my shirt! Next will be checking my eyes on Friday. More lasers? WOW the difference in my attitude! Now if the rest of me would catch up!πŸ˜˜πŸ¦‹

Now I can start worrying about my sister and her husband who just left on their vacation overseas. Does it ever end?

I stopped taking my Lipator 2 days ago and only 20mg last night. I feel better already! Now for the wobbly legs!Still waiting to hear from my heart doctor if I can drop it for another medication.πŸ€”
