I too have PSA - unfortunately I did not present with Psoriasis first - I am one of the 15% that presented with the arthritis initially and took over 13 years for a DX. I clearly understand the pain of PSA and the effect it has on every day life's tasks. My husband also has a debilitiating disease - i just wanted to acknowledge that we too have a menu somewhat like your household these days due to this darn disease. I currently take Methotrexate (2.5 years) and Enbrel (6 months) - Unfortunately I have not had any real success from either of them. Best of luck to you and David. Kath (moi) Hello Young Wife.

I don't know how we'd survive without such great family. And you're so right. God is in control. Nothing happens that isn't His will. Kerri, I love talking to you because I know you've been there. I truly cannot imagine dealing with a 3 year old in the midst of all of this. Especially since we teach the three year olds in Sunday School at our church. They've delightful. But we couldn't care for the 24/7. And David's never even been hospitalized. Listening to some of the podcasts from National Chronic Invisible Awareness Week has made me realize (again) that it could be so much worse. Mel, thank you so much.

You mean there is another way to live with chronic illness that ISN'T extreme survival?? ; ) Girl, I TOTALLY know what you mean...having a 3 year old at 38 (almost 39!) and a chronic illness...extreme survival is a great way to put it. So glad David is doing some better...and can't wait to hear the positive reports about the Humira! Kerri Hey Ashley!

You just call if that needs to be sooner than later. Praying that you have a good week and many restful nights. Ready to see what the Lord has in store with the medicine this week! Just do what you can do with the house and remember that HE is in control. If the house is going to sell, it will not be because of anything in our power, but in HIS alone. If you want some help, I'm kid free on Thursday morning, just let me know! Hubby and Dad have planned to rev up the chainsaw and remove the tree. You just call if that needs to be sooner than later.
