If this does end up being Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), I'm wondering if the diagnosis has come too late for treatment to be of much benefit.

Been trying to piece together a timeline and I can remember noticing the first spots back in the mid 90's and wondering what they were.

I was in my mid 30's at that time, had no health insurance and only went to ER if really, really sick.

Of course back then I would only see one or two spots (about the size of a nickle, dime or quarter) pop up throughout the year.

Then as time progressed it would be three or four going on at the same time on random locations all over my body & more frequently throught the year.

The pain started about 10 years later and has progressively gotten worse since then, but I had no clue it may be connected to those spots on my skin.

I'm almost 60 and the last time I can remember being relatively pain free was back when I was 48 years old!

Since then it's all gone downhill so fast - especially these last 2-3 years.

If it is PsA, that means I've gone nearly 25 years without diagnosis and treatment.
