I'm concerned that after years of many medications & treatments, I am not experiencing improvement (for PsA or PsO). The PsA is much more impairing for me than the PsO. It has completely changed my life, in so many negative ways.
I had the bloodwork drawn at my GYN for genetic testing but the lab called and said insurance will not pay and I could not afford it.
Maybe I should get my blood drawn and have my son send it to where his dogs was sent and see what comes back lol
@CollenBarry, how about lymphatic drainage to unblock the pipes. Detox won't work if there not draining properly.
Thanks again for your response Robina. Unfortunately I tried a very stringent anti-inflammatory diet (thru the care of a well-regarded Naturopath, in conjunction with my healthcare team), detoxed my food and my house and did not experience any improvements. I absolutely believe those things can make a big difference for some people, but for me it didn't make any difference and sadly.....some of my symptoms worsened (especially GI).
I've tried lots of other alternative treatments as well, to no avail (medical massage / fascia work, colonics, tango-parrafin treatments, physical therapy, Bowen treatments, Accupuncture, Meditation & Yoga regularly, Hypnosis, German foot Baths, Chiropractics, etc.
Not seeing improvement after many years is common also. I found an anti inflammatory diet did more for me than the 14 medications I tried. Also detoxing my food and my house. Big difference.
I was referring more to genetic testing for rare diagnoses, as I wonder if I am experiencing another disease, in addition to PsA and PsO....something that is not likely to show up in labs.
